Help Health to have a voice at Copenhagen

The Climate Change Health Council has mounted an ambitious international campaign, aimed at enabling the 'health voice' to be properly heard in the lead up to the UN Climate Change conference in Copenhagen, in Dec 2009. The Copenhagen negotiations are widely recognized as the last chance to gain global agreement on a framework to cap and reduce carbon emissions. The Climate Change Health Council has developed a petition which enables health professionals to make a pledge "to protect health through active engagement to limit the causes of human-caused climate change"

If you are a student or staff engaged in a health profession then you can sign the petition below. Otherwise we urge the staff, students and the public to ask their physician, and any other health professionals they encounter, whether they have signed the pledge.

Sign the pledge here.

In the UK the medical students are being particularly active. View news here.
