Title
COP27 Climate Change Conference: urgent action needed for Africa and the world (EDITORIAL)
Description
The 2022 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC) paints a dark picture of the future of life on
earth, characterised by ecosystem collapse, species extinction,
and climate hazards such as heatwaves and floods [1]. These
are all linked to physical and mental health problems, with
direct and indirect consequences of increased morbidity and
mortality. To avoid these catastrophic health effects across all
regions of the globe, there is broad agreement—as 231 health
journals argued together in 2021—that the rise in global temperature must be limited to less than 1.5oC compared with
pre-industrial levels
