Experts urge WHO to declare climate crisis a health emergency
Original: Call for the WHO to declare the climate crisis a public health emergency of international concern
Health experts are calling on the World Health Organization to formally declare the climate crisis a public health emergency of international concern. The appeal argues that global warming's impacts on health — from heat deaths to disease spread — warrant the same emergency status applied to major disease outbreaks, drawing fresh attention to climate as a medical and policy issue.
Why now: The formal appeal to the WHO is newly published and revives debate over whether climate change should be treated as an international health emergency.
