Climate change should be declared a global health emergency, according to a Lancet study

A fresh study is making a bold ask: climate change should be declared a global health emergency. Think heat waves, polluted air and diseases creeping into new places, all pushed under one emergency banner. It is the kind of call that makes policy people sit up.

So far this story has one source behind it, and one outlet has picked it up. The study's conclusion is what everyone is quoting, and no separate angle has surfaced yet. Until more voices join in, this is a strong idea with not much of a chorus behind it.

What would settle it is a formal move, either a health body taking up the call or governments responding to it. Fans will know it has moved from paper to policy only when that happens.
