Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change

The Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change is an international collaboration of researchers that publishes an annual report, in the medical journal The Lancet, tracking how climate change affects human health. Each edition measures indicators such as heat-related deaths, disease spread, and health effects of air pollution, and assesses how countries are responding. Its findings are widely cited by governments, health organisations and the media when discussing the health risks of climate change.
