In recognition of the need to monitor the implications of national climate policies for health, and in continuation of prior assessments of health in NDCs [10,11], the Global Climate and Health Alliance (GCHA) and partners have collaborated to produce the Healthy NDCs Scorecard [12]. First launched in July 2021, the September iteration of the Scorecard evaluates 67 updated or enhanced NDCs spanning 93 countries (the EU27 submits a single joint NDC) for their ambition and inclusion of health considerations, across a range of categories.
