The 2022 report of the Lancet Countdown on health and climate change: health at the mercy of fossil fuels

The 2022 report of the Lancet Countdown on health and climate change: health at the mercy of fossil fuels | Biodiversité | Scoop.it

The 2022 report of the Lancet Countdown is published as the world confronts profound and concurrent systemic shocks. Countries and health systems continue to contend with the health, social, and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, while Russia's invasion of Ukraine and a persistent fossil fuel overdependence has pushed the world into global energy and cost-of-living crises. As these crises unfold, climate change escalates unabated. Its worsening impacts are increasingly affecting the foundations of human health and wellbeing, exacerbating the vulnerability of the world's populations to concurrent health threats.

Greenhouse gas emissions falling in most source sectors - Eurostat

Greenhouse gas emissions falling in most source sectors - Eurostat | Biodiversité | Scoop.it

Climate change can be an overwhelming theme with many indicators involved. To better understand it, Eurostat published today a Statistics Explained article on climate change and its driving forces providing a long-term analysis and in-depth background. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are the result of human activities which cause anthropogenic climate change, and the EU is an ambitious contributor to the global efforts to fight climate change and reduce GHG emissions, being committed to being climate neutral by 2050. Data produced by the European Environment Agency (EEA) and re-publishded by Eurostat show that GHG emissions have been declining in most sectors, except in fuel combustion in transport, including international aviation.
