This Comment supports SDGs 3 and 13 by highlighting the negative health impacts of climate change around the world and in Europe, and noting that populations most impacted by climate change tend to be the least responsible for contributing to it. The authors note that, like in the Global South, the most disadvantaged communities in Europe bear disproportionate burdens of negative health impacts of climate change, but that addressing this inequity is not currently an explicit goal of EU policies.
Elsevier,

Elsevier,

The Lancet Public Health, Volume 7, November 2022

This report supports SDGs 3 and 13 by monitoring and evaluating the effects of climate change on health in Europe, and the benefits to health of climate action. By tracking 33 indicators in a variety of domains, the report shows that climate-related health risks in Europe are accelerating, and current adapation and mitigation strategies are insufficient. Ambitious strategies are required to prevent worsening harms to human health.
Elsevier,

The purpose of the first Global Stocktake (GST), which will conclude in 2023, is to measure collective progress in climate action and enhance ambition for meeting the Paris Agreement. Realizing the transformative change necessary requires popular support, political commitment, and robust institutions. These aspects of “political economy,” which explores how interactions among actors, their interests, and underlying institutions shape political and economic outcomes, are critical. However, these dimensions are currently missing from the GST.

Elsevier, One Earth, Volume 6, 16 June 2023
Anthropogenic CO2 emissions must soon approach net zero to stabilize the global mean temperature. Although several international agreements have advocated for coordinated climate actions, their implementation has remained below expectations. One of the main challenges of international cooperation is the different degrees of socio-political acceptance of decarbonization. Here, we interrogate a minimalistic model of the coupled human-natural system representing the impact of such socio-political acceptance on investments in clean energy infrastructure and the path to net-zero emissions.
