The RCP is one of more than 20 health organisations that have come together in the UK Health Alliance on Climate Change (UKHACC) to advocate for responses to climate change that protect and promote public health.
Founded in 2016, UKHACC seeks to empower the health profession to advocate for better responses to climate change, to engage decision makers to strengthen relevant policies and to raise awareness of the links between health and climate change.
As well as highlighting how climate change undermines the foundations of health in the UK and worldwide – threatening clean air, safe drinking water, sufficient food and secure shelter – UKHACC also points out that actions that protect our planet, such as phasing out polluting vehicles and encouraging more walking and cycling, are also good for our health.
