Climate change and health inequity are two of the greatest challenges for health, and are related in complex ways. COP21 in Paris is a crucial opportunity to ensure that climate strategies of the future are designed to reduce health inequity and meet the needs of the most vulnerable populations. The Global Climate and Health Alliance have put together a short brief outlining the intersection of climate and health equity, and discussing how unified action is essential for the global agreement to translate into real-world improvements for health.
