The relationship between global health and climate change is profound and multidimensional. Climate change is already causing widespread impacts across the globe and exacerbating existing health vulnerabilities. This Monograph highlights the inextricable link between climate justice and health equity and calls for the creation of global governance frameworks that are better aligned to ensure global equity and justice.

The Chapter on Health Equity Under the UNFCCC examines the link between health and climate change as reflected in international climate change instruments and provides recommendations for science-based policies and measures to further integrate health into climate action and climate finance through the One Health approach, among others.
