Climate health emergency direct
As global temperatures continue to rise from increasing greenhouse gas emissions, the health impacts of climate change will only get worse -- meaning more lives will be lost and more people's health put at risk. Governments must take urgent action now to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
Commit to policies to limit warming to 1.5°C; and support a National Strategy on Climate, Health and Well-being for Australia

As global temperatures continue to rise from increasing greenhouse gas emissions, the health impacts of climate change will only get worse — meaning more lives will be lost and more people’s health put at risk. Governments must take urgent action now to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
