The Climate and Health Alliance just published a submission in response to the Draft National Preventive Health Strategy.  CAHA acknowledged that the draft Strategy is an improvement on the earlier iterations which contained no reference to climate change at all. However, the main pathway to addressing it appears to be via a proposed national environmental health strategy, which is to be developed by 2030.  2030 is far too long to wait to act on what is a current, escalating threat of human health and wellbeing, which risks massive ecosystem and societal collapse in the latter part of this century.

On March 16, we took 30+ health leaders to Parliament House to share our common concern about the health emergency of climate change, and the need for urgent action.

We invite you to join us for the Pacific region launch of the groundbreaking Global Road Map for Healthcare Decarbonisation: A navigational tool for achieving zero emissions with climate resilience and health equity, developed by Health Care Without Harm (HCWH) in collaboration with Arup.  

Ambulance Victoria (AV) has today announced new steps for becoming a sustainable ambulance service, including reaching net zero emissions five years earlier than planned and increased emissions reduction targets for 2025 and 2030.
