The blueprint for a healthy climate future As world leaders gathered in Belém, Brazil, for the 30th UN Climate Change Conference (COP 30), a major shift in global climate policy is unfolding, placing health at the heart of climate actio...

"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...

COP30 Ends With No Text On Fossil Fuels Phase-Out - But Plans For A Conference In 2026 - Health Policy Watch The combined pressures of those alliances failed to move the powerful bloc of the world's major oil-producing nations, led by Saudi Arabia, Russia and their

😷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.

🛑 #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?

COP30 : la France et une trentaine d’autres pays annoncent qu’ils ne signeront pas d’accord n’incluant pas une « feuille de route » pour la sortie des énergies fossiles « Sous sa forme actuelle, la proposition ne remplit pas les conditions minimales pour un résultat crédible à cette COP », ont écrit, jeudi, ces pays dans une lettre à la présidence de la conférence pour le climat, à la veille de la fin du sommet.

Carney’s calamitous course causes consternation at climate conference Canada arrived at COP30 with empty hands, expressly moving backwards on almost every climate policy we’ve put in place since Paris.

#Canada Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social U-turn on climate has been noticed and denounced at #COP30.

Fossil fuel phaseout: Will COP30 finally establish a roadmap? Establishing a timeline to transition away from fossil fuels is COP30’s trickiest agenda.

"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.

Trump’s anti-climate agenda could result in 1.3m more deaths globally, analysis finds Fallout from increased emissions linked to president’s ‘America First’ policies expected to most affect those in poor, hot countries

“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.

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

In the Shadow of Oil Rigs, Black Women Are Reclaiming Their Neighborhoods From the courts to city streets, Black women organizers are proving climate solutions start at the neighborhood level.

Urban oil drilling has long exposed South LA communities to toxic air and heightened climate risk.

In response, Black women organizers are working to shut down wells and advance a transition rooted in community health, equitable redevelopment, and reparative justice.

Health Systems Are Unprepared For The Climate Crisis - Health Policy Watch Nations worldwide must finance and implement climate adaptation measures for health systems or risk losing millions of lives as extreme weather, rising temperatures, and intensifying heat.

🌡️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!
