Abstract
With 2023 shattering climate records across the world following decades of unprecedented warming,1 the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference of Parties 28 (UNFCCC COP28) in Dubai was the first UN climate change conference to feature an official ‘Health Day’ and witnessed the largest-ever turnout of the global health community. The threat of climate change to human well-being and planetary health2 3 has previously received little attention at the annual COPs, despite ever-growing scientific evidence warning of the increasing health dangers.
