The UN General Assembly in September 2021 will bring countries together at a critical time for marshalling collective action to tackle the global environmental crisis. They will meet again at the biodiversity summit in Kunming, China, and the climate conference (COP26) in Glasgow, UK. Ahead of these pivotal meetings, we-the editors of health journals worldwide-call for urgent action to keep average global temperature increases below 1.5°C, halt the destruction of nature, and protect health.
2021 年 9 月,联合国大会将在一个关键时刻召集各国共同采取集体行动,应对全球环境危机。随后,各国将在中国昆明举行的生物多样性峰会上以及在英国格拉斯哥举行的气候大会(COP26)上再次相聚。在这些关键会议之前,我们——全球卫生期刊的编辑们——呼吁采取紧急行动,将全球平均气温升幅控制在 1.5°C 以下,制止对自然的破坏,并保护人类健康。
