This campaign asks all Australian Environment Ministers to cut air pollution and protect our climate and our health by supporting stronger air pollution standards.
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.
CAHA is calling for strong emissions reductions as an important public health measure and a national strategy on climate change and health as the prescription for political parties looking for a winning formula in the upcoming federal election (2013).
This campaing focused on the 2016 federal election: Strong emissions reduction targets will help limit massive adverse impacts on human health, both in Australia and globally.
This 2019 federal election campaign asked supporters to contact their local candidates and either email or visit them to let them know that climate change is and will affect Australians health and that, conversely, climate action is a win for both people's health and in reducing the economic burden of ill-health associated with climate change.
