“The drop in #coal power & record increase in clean energy in #China & #India marks a historic moment [which could be] a sign of things to come” - says new report by @carbonbrief.org 👉https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/jan/13/coal-power-generation-falls-china-india-since-1970s by J. Ambrose

"Only 12% of medical schools worldwide include air pollution in their formal curricula. Patients, such as young children with asthma, often visit doctors who may not ask about environmental triggers or provide advice on reducing exposures" ✍️ @klburke.bsky.social healthjournalism.org/blog/2026/01...

"Ending the era of fossil fuels as soon as possible is imperative for human and planetary health... the health community can play a unique and essential role in building public and political will to accelerate the transition to a clean energy economy" - Prof. @maibached.bsky.social

My hat is off to Farah Waseem, a 26 year old physician in Pakistan, who "sees advocacy (for human & planetary health) as a moral and civic duty." Every health professional, me included, should stand with Dr. Waseem. @docsforclimate.bsky.social @gchalliance.bsky.social @keertigopal.bsky.social

“Deaths related to air pollution are not being counted… there are no systematic mechanisms to do so,” denounced @shwetanarayan30.bsky.social gulfnews.com/world/asia/i...

Spectacular! NYC’s congestion pricing program reduced health-harming air pollution by more than 20% inside the affected zone. That is a huge benefit to everyone who lives or works in the zone. @docsforclimate.bsky.social @gchalliance.bsky.social @climatemuseum.bsky.social @nyclimate.bsky.social

Environmental determinants of health, like climate change impacts, interact with social determinants of health, like access to housing and healthcare. An insightful new article reviews how this influences the health of newborns. @docsforclimate.bsky.social @gchalliance.bsky.social @who.int

"Climate action is not only about reducing carbon. It's about preserving every heartbeat on this planet"- write Ruchi & Shamsuddoha. "That's why health shouldn't be just in footnote in COP decisions."- said @jessbeagley.bsky.social www.dhakatribune.com/opinion/op-e...

😷Health gained rare visibility at #Cop30: the final text acknowledged the public-health benefits of climate action for the first time. But the Belém Health Action Plan gained limited support — & zero government funding. @cleanairfund.bsky.social @gchalliance.bsky.social @350.org @ciel.org 📖⬇️ & 🙏🔁

"Bad COP" | My new commentary on #COP30: michaelmann.net/bad-cop/

#COP30 Delivers Incremental Climate Action, But Lack of Implementation Support Jeopardises Health climateandhealthalliance.org/press-releas...

🛑 #COP30 leaked letter to @cop30brazil.bsky.social: “We cannot support an outcome that doesn't include roadmap for implementing just, orderly & equitable transition away from fossil fuels. This expectation is shared by a vast majority of Parties, science & people who are watching our work closely”

“Canada likes to pretend it values natural spaces and clean air and upstanding behaviour. But it seems when the money hits the road, the government seems to only care about the stock values of its oil and gas companies.”

#COP30 What if the key to global climate progress isn’t more promises, but real delivery? 👉Details in this intv: with GCHA @jessbeagley.bsky.social & Axel Eriksson from the UN Secretary-General’s Youth Advisory on Climate Change: youtube.com/post/Ugkx96p...

"The call to end fossil fuels isn’t solely coming from environmentalists, and has been described as a “public health imperative” by physicians, nurses and health and medical students representing millions of workers worldwide" www.euronews.com/green/2025/1... by Liam Gilliver

👏 An important step forwards on sectoral action on black carbon, as part of the broader #superpollutants movement. This announcement provides a high-level policy signal in favour of integrated action on climate change and #airpollution.

“A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic.” —Stalin (?) New research by @rhg.com finds Trump’s anti-climate agenda could result in 1.3 million more deaths globally—from extreme heat only. The full health toll of America’s Fossil Fuel First agenda remains uncounted. 1/2

We welcome Mexico’s landmark climate commitment. ➕💚 Its endorsement of the Latin America & Caribbean Common Position on Climate & Health strengthens a united regional voice calling for urgent climate action rooted in equity, rights & public health. climateandhealthalliance.org/uncategorize...

As #COP30 nears end & with 80+ countries supporting a roadmap to phase out fossil fuels, here is a brief summary on how health organisations & health workers have persistently advocated for urgent global phase out & #justtransition 👉 www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-gl...

This may not look like a big deal, but it is. Every nation that endorses the Treaty concept increases the odds that the UN and all nations will eventually be forced to negotiate how to bring the deadly fossil fuel era to a rapid close. @gchalliance.bsky.social @docsforclimate.bsky.social

#Cambodia just became the 18th country to officially support the #FossilFuelTreaty! 🇰🇭 At #COP30 in Belém, Cambodia affirmed their commitment to a fast, fair and financed global transition aligned with a low-carbon, climate-resilient future. 🔗 FossilFuelTreaty.org/cambodia%EF%...

🌡️The @cop30brazil.bsky.social report estimates health systems will need $22B in adaptation financing annually by 2035. Today, climate-health funding reaches only a fraction of that. 🚨Without investment, millions of lives remain at risk! @wellcometrust.bsky.social @gchalliance.bsky.social 📖⬇️ & 🙏🔁

🌍 Brazil launches the Belém Health Action Plan at @cop30brazil.bsky.social — a roadmap to protect 3.3B people from climate-driven health threats. 💸But nations offered zero new finance. Only a $300M philanthropic pledge vs >$11B/yr needed for basic adaptation. @gchalliance.bsky.social 📖⬇️ & 🙏🔁

As a health professional and board member of @gchalliance.bsky.social, I'm calling for the rapid phase out of fossil fuel advertising, and I urge all health organizations to join me in this effort. Join our Break the Fossil Influence campaign: climateandhealthalliance.org/what-we-do/m...

The Fox Occupied Henhouse At COP30—the global climate negotiations in Brazil—the fossil fuel industry has the 2nd largest delegation, 2nd only to Brazil. This is a recipe for global catastrophe. It’s time to ban fossil fuel lobbyists from COPs—before its too late. @gchalliance.bsky.social

“ #COP30: Success will be measured by the courage govs have demonstrated to act on what is already known: fossil fuels are destroying people’s health. Ignoring these realities would be a betrayal of both science & humanity.” said @jenimiller.bsky.social healthpolicy-watch.news/health-syste...

#BelémHealthActionPlan has been adopted today at #COP30 but, with only 0.5% of all multilateral climate finance going to health, colossal efforts on adaptation finance remains crucial to strengthening health in the face of #climatecrisis. climateandhealthalliance.org/press-releas...

The mamas are at #COP30 for Health Day 💚 The climate crisis is harming our children’s health - 90% of kids breathe toxic air. We need urgent action for clean air and a healthier planet. @cleanairfund.bsky.social @gchalliance.bsky.social #CleanAir #ClimateAction

How is health relevant to the @UNFCCC negotiations? At #COP30, governments have the chance to show that climate action can save lives now & protect generations to come. NOW is the time to translate momentum on health ➡️ action. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeAi... With @jessbeagley.bsky.social
