Questão 9 - EBMSP Medicina 2023/2

    The 20th and 21st centuries have seen transformations that have had a major impact on health, both globally and locally. These changes have affected lifestyles, the environment, work, technology, the economy and also healthcare systems. Today we know that human health is inseparable from the health of the planet, and this vision has also inspired the 17 Sustainable Development Goals 2030 (SDGs), adopted as a commitment in 2015 by world leaders under the auspices of the United Nations (UN). These put the lines of action necessary to achieve and ensure at least minimum levels of well-being for the entire world population on the international agenda. They include, as priorities, health, the fight against poverty and the protection of the planet. […]

    Unfortunately, the emergence of Covid-19 and the pandemic declared in 2020 have delayed efforts to declare a climate emergency, despite the fact that climate change is considered the greatest health threat in the 21st century and even though we know that Covid-19 has provided an example showing that human health is inseparable from the health of the planet. […] Climate change involves an increase in a whole series of direct and indirect risks and impacts on human health that are already having a negative impact on morbidity and mortality, as many studies have shown. The World Health Organization (WHO) reminds us that when we speak of a climate crisis, we are also speaking of a health crisis inseparable from it.

    We are, therefore, facing a global problem with global implications requiring an immediate response. As guarantors, defenders and protectors of health, and as professionals looked up to by the public, doctors have a special responsibility and can aspire to play an important role in this struggle. […] People look to doctors for leadership in terms of health and for this reason we have a responsibility to help educate citizens in good habits regarding both the care of their own health and the care of the planet.

    Our principal mission is to protect health and we therefore urge local, regional, national and international organizations to begin to legislate, make immediate agreements and take measures that will help slow down climate change and move us away from the emergency situation. […] We doctors offer our full cooperation in as far as our knowledge and our role can be useful in achieving these objectives.
