Air pollution is the largest environmental health risk we face today - call for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty
Every year, air pollution causes up to 36,000 deaths in the UK. The World Health Organization and the UK Government recognise that air pollution is the largest environmental health risk we face today.
Millions of people around the world breathe polluted air that puts their respiratory and cardiovascular health, and in some cases even their lives, at risk. Phasing out fossil fuels would be a major step in protecting health for current and future generations.
More than a thousand health professionals have already endorsed the call for a treaty.
Add your name to endorse the call for a treaty.
Next week, the Global Climate and Health Alliance are planning a major press launch of the health community's letter calling for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty and want to secure as many signatures as possible. They are encouraging healthcare professionals to help to build momentum by inviting two—or more—of your health colleagues to sign the health letter before the launch on 14 September.
Invite your colleagues to sign the health letter
By clicking the link above, you'll be taken to a form where you can send a short note of invitation to a colleague to sign the letter. They will be sent your note, as well as a link to some additional information about the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. The form can only send one email at a time, but you use the form as many times as you wish.
