SUMMARY:Health & Climate Justice at COP26 ─ health community letter to the UK Government and COP26 leadership
DESCRIPTION:With just under a year to go until the COP26 climate talks start in Glasgow\, the UK Government is far off track to meeting its legally binding emissions targets. To make matters worse\, it was recently revealed that fossil fuel companies\, including BP\, Shell and Equinor have been meeting with the government to discuss plans for the talks next year. \n\n\n\nOn Monday 30th November\, together with Students for Global Health\, we launched our open letter from the health community calling on the UK Government and COP26 leadership to take bold\, decisive action to both ensure a green recovery from Covid-19 and the success of the climate talks in Glasgow next year: \n\n\n\nThe letter makes 3 key demands: \n\n\n\n\nThe UK must commit to a rapid and historically accurate reduction of emissions;\n\n\n\nAll new fossil fuel extractive projects must be permanently cancelled;\n\n\n\nCOP26 must be fossil-free\, with fossil fuel companies and lobbyists barred from decision makers.\n\n\n\n\nRSVP below for the letter’s launch day to receive our action guide complete with template social media posts and emails to help get the word out to a bigger audience! \n\n\n\n[Registration has now closed]

SUMMARY:Local support for Nuclear Ban Treaty - strategy meeting
DESCRIPTION:In the new year\, the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) is set to enter into force and become international law. And yet\, the UK government has refused to engage with the TPNW\, let alone sign up to the Treaty. \n\n\n\nAround the world\, cities and towns have come out in support of the Treaty\, putting pressure on national governments to sign up to the Treaty. In the UK\, cities such as Manchester and Edinburgh have joined the ICAN Cities Appeal. \n\n\n\nJoin us on Thursday 3 December at 5pm to discuss a strategy for Medact members and the wider health community to encourage local councils to support the TPNW. \n\n\n\nWe will also be hearing from Sean Morris\, the UK & Ireland Nuclear Free Local Authorities (NFLA) and Mayors for Peace Chapter Secretary. \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions\, please email reemabuhayyeh@medact.org \n\n\n\n[Registration has now closed]

SUMMARY:Health & Climate Justice at COP26
DESCRIPTION:In November 2021\, world leaders will be gathering in Glasgow for the COP 26 climate talks. This represents the first real opportunity to fully assess global commitment to tackling climate change since the Paris Agreement was signed in 2015. In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic\, these talks also form a key moment in which the international community has a clear choice to make: return to business as usual or bring about a global green recovery for the health of people and planet? \n\n\n\nAs highlighted by recent reports\, the fossil fuel industry is looking to influence the outcome of the climate talks and block effective action to eliminate emissions. For the sake of the health and wellbeing of communities across the globe\, it is vital that we stop them. \n\n\n\nMedact\, together with Students for Global Health\, Health Declares and the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare is coordinating a letter from the wider health community to the UK Government and COP26 leadership\, demanding that they act to safeguard the health of people and planet\, laying the groundwork for the success of the talks in Glasgow\, next year. \n\n\n\nJoin us on Monday 7th December as we launch our new briefing\, ‘Health and Climate Justice at COP26’\, authored by the Medact Climate & Health Research Group & Students for Global Health. We will hear from the authors of the briefing and then take action together to amplify our health community letter! \n\n\n\n[Registration has now closed]

SUMMARY:Climate & Health Scorecard Planning
DESCRIPTION:At the last big meeting of the Medact Climate & Health Group\, we began discussing a plan to research and assess the action being taken by Royal Colleges and other health institutions on climate change. This research would have a particular focus on high-level actions such as fossil fuel divestment\, declaring a climate emergency and engaging in policy advocacy. \n\n\n\nMore than 1250 health workers so far have signed the letter calling for health and climate justice at COP 26. To build on that and in the year of COP 26\,  it is important that health institutions are using their voice to advocate for Climate Justice. Please join Medact & Health Declares to discuss the next steps of the project and how we organise. \n\n\n\nIf you are unable to join next Wednesday\, but would still like to be involved in the project\, please sign up to our mailing list and we will update following the meeting. If you have any questions at all or would like to speak more about the idea\, then please get in touch – beneder@medact.org. \n\n\n\n[Registration has now closed]

SUMMARY:Health Versus Wealth? UK Economic Policy and Public Health During COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:Our Economic Justice and Health Group’s new briefing will pick apart the Government strategies in response to COVID-19 ─ and in particular the guiding assumptions that public health and economic wealth are in tension. The briefing dispels this myth\, showing that a ‘health versus wealth’ mentality is a false dichotomy. \n\n\n\nIt charts a course of how these assumptions came about to be\, the policies that weakened the social immunity of the UK and laid the ground for one of the highest death tolls in the world and also the deepest economic crisis out of the G7. Importantly it also points to what needs to be done now to protect lives and livelihoods and address health inequalities at their roots. \n\n\n\nWe have lined up some fantastic speakers for the launch: \n\n\n\n\nDr Christina Pagel from Independent Sage will be speaking about the public health response and how we can prevent further lives being lost\n\n\n\nChristine Berry\, an economist\, will be helping us understand the assumptions behind economic policy\, the shortcomings and what needs to be done to protect livelihoods\n\n\n\nOur issue group members and briefing authors Dr Monica Sharman and Daniel Carter will take us through the analysis in the briefing and the recommendations we have made to protect both lives and livelihoods\n\n\n\n\n[Registration has now closed]
