More frequent and intense heatwaves, droughts and floods are breaching critical ecosystem boundaries, causing cascading impacts that are increasingly complex to govern. Unsustainable development pathways and economic choices that are fueling the climate crisis are also directly engendering global health issues. Furthermore, the global response to climate change has been uneven and the lack of a conceptual framework for loss and damage has allowed developed countries the latitude to adopt differing takes on its framing, undermining the urgency and progression of the loss and damage mechanism to the detriment of developing countries. Current research on the governance of climate ethics posits that while economic and legal considerations largely influence climate policies, decision-making processes in climate adjacent sectors such as health need to be further grounded on ethically sound principles. Framing the health impacts of climate change as a moral issue can therefore be viewed as an effort to reshape the current political discourse with a humanistic lens and move the international community and state-level actors to action. The framing of this issue is particularly important as it recenters the focus on human health as an imperative for effective climate policies rather than as a contributor to the cache of peripheral co-benefits. It also underscores climate change as an ethical issue, in which failure to respond to the climate impacts can worsen health inequities, especially for socially and economically marginalized communities and vulnerable groups.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":75054,"journal":{"name":"The journal of climate change and health","volume":"19 ","pages":"Article 100336"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667278224000397/pdfft?md5=0bf9eb5db67f0658c0211b819f4705c0&pid=1-s2.0-S2667278224000397-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141851803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The conference aimed to educate healthcare students and professionals, facilitate research dissemination, raise awareness of health disparities exacerbated by climate change, and promote innovative climate-responsive healthcare practices. Several key themes emerged from the conference sessions, spanning climate and health education, sustainability in healthcare delivery, community resilience, effective communication strategies, ethical considerations, and addressing healthcare disparities. Participants highlighted the urgent need to continue to integrate climate education into healthcare curricula and promote climate-smart healthcare practices, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainability in clinical care. The importance of effective communication by healthcare professionals to engage the public and policymakers in climate action as well as storytelling by doctors in society as trusted voices were further emphasized as powerful tools to convey the health relevance of climate change. Sessions emphasized the imperative of addressing health disparities exacerbated by climate change, particularly in vulnerable communities.

I first show that climate change is an important element of a system of hazards called “Limits to Growth”. I then argue that the interaction of climate change and other Limits to Growth elements risks civilization “failure” and possibly its “collapse”. Either consequence, were one to occur, entails profound risks to global population health, yet appreciation of this is still largely outside the health literature. I then discuss these relationships (including with civilization's destiny) with bioethical schools. The oldest of these (also called medical ethics) is strongly related to health and medicine, but in a later (1970) formulation the prefix “bio” is broader than human biology, though this school also has roots in human health. Van Rensselaer Potter, widely recognized as the founder of this school, subtitled it “the science of survival”. This subtitle seems to acknowledge an at least implicit risk to civilization. I also briefly discuss environmental ethics. By calling for greater discussion of the risk of civilization failure (or its collapse) this paper makes an important and original contribution to bioethics, however conceptualized. The major scholarly contribution of this paper is its call for the human health literature to refresh its consideration of Limits to Growth, to reconsider aspects that have become marginalized in the health literature, and for health workers to deepen their engagement with related literatures, especially of human ecology.
