SUMMARY:Health for a Green New Deal: Prescription for Climate Justice
DESCRIPTION:Last year\, health workers across the UK started running climate clinics to engage their communities and put pressure on MPs to oppose new fossil fuels and support the Green New Deal Bill. \nAlmost a year since COP26\, the government has approved new oil fields with up to 40 in the pipeline. At the same time\, energy companies have recorded profits\, whilst people are having to choose between heating and eating. \nThis year\, we are going to build the pressure – join us online for the October Big Meeting of the Health for a Green New Deal campaign\, where we will be coming together to: \n\nHear updates from local groups\nLaunch our brand new ‘Prescription for Climate Justice’ action guide\nPractice persuasive conversations\nShare plans around COP 27 Global Day of Action & the People’s Health Tribunal\n\nWhether you’ve been organising with us all along or are brand new to H4GND\, the Big Meetings are the perfect opportunity to hear what’s been happening\, what we have planned and how you can get involved. If you have any questions about this event or the campaign\, please email Rob (robabrams@medact.org) or Ben (beneder@medact.org).  \n[Registration has now closed]

SUMMARY:Health blocs @ Global Day of Action for Climate Justice 2022
DESCRIPTION:Global temperatures\, rising. Energy bills\, rising. Billionaire profits\, rising. Health injustice\, rising. \nLast year\, you and the health community came together in your 100s across the UK for the global day of action during COP 26 in Glasgow. Since then\, energy companies are making record-breaking profits while people are being forced to choose between heating and eating.\n\nGovernment policies\, both nationally and globally\, are causing devastation to people’s health. Working people and people of colour—who have contributed the least to the problem—are paying the price with killer famines\, floods\, crop failures\, fires and rising poverty. \n\nThis November\, when world leaders meet in Egypt for COP27\, African movements have called for a Global Day of Action for climate justice. \n\nThe UK Government must stop its climate wrecking plans\, and implement real climate solutions that solve both the climate and cost of living crises. To stop this crisis we need action that cuts carbon\, tackles inequality and ends the injustices baked into our world. Communities in the global south need urgent climate finance and reparations for the loss and damages that have caused mass destruction of lives and livelihoods. \n\nJustice won’t be handed to us by world leaders or delivered by corporations. We need to organise in our communities to ensure that not only is no one is cold or hungry this winter\, but that we stop the headlong rush into climate catastrophe.\n\nSign up to join your local health bloc on the day! Medact London\, Edinburgh\, Newcastle\, Sheffield\, Bristol and Blackpool. Select where you will be marching in the form below.\n\nYou can see the full list of locations where demonstrations are taking place on the climatejustice.uk website. If you are planning to join demonstrations not listed above\, please get in touch with Rob Abrams\, Climate & Health Campaign & Programme lead on robabrams@medact.org.\n\n[Registration has now closed]
