David Whineray, director of global health at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office

"WHO have said that climate change is the biggest threat to human health, so as others have said, the climate emergency now is a global health emergency. We're seeing malaria up, air pollution deaths, so really welcome this push that has been given. Kind of too, the UK is very proud to lean into this agenda following up the COP26 health program, and as others have mentioned, we co-established a TASH with the WHO to support, and we invite all present on that platform to support the necessary collaboration and to further elevate this issue. And three, very much support what others have said about the need to take a comprehensive rather than a siloed approach to this. We need to integrate climate change work into our global health work, global health into our climate change work and programs, as well as looking at new initiatives, ideas and support. And very much support the UAE's health day, which will be a pivotal moment. I agree that we need action and decisions from that, not just the day itself, and we stand by ready to help."
