Zero regrets: scaling up action on climate change mitigation and adaptation for health in the WHO European Region. Key messages from the Working Group on Health in Climate Change (2021)

The imperative to protect and improve the health of current and future generations is one of the strongest arguments for action on climate change and sustainable development.
