Fossil Fuels, Health, and Human Rights: Centering Health and Human Rights in the Global Transition Away from Fossil Fuels

Fossil fuels are health-harming products, driving climate change, toxic pollution and millions of preventable deaths each year, with the greatest impacts on frontline communities.

This session reframes fossil fuels as health-harming products and centers the urgent need to act through a justice and human-rights lens. It will convene global leaders across health, human rights and policy to explore how a rights-based approach can accelerate a just transition and protect lives.
