WONCA Climate Action Statement
15 November 2023
Your Community Health has joined the World Organization of Family Doctors – WONCA, which represents three million healthcare workers, to ask world leaders to protect the health of our communities from the climate crisis.
Together, we want to see the following actions:
- Ending the expansion of any new fossil fuel infrastructure and production
- Phase out existing production and use of fossil fuels
- Remove fossil fuel subsidies and invest in renewable energy
- Fast track a just change that looks at the needs of individuals, communities and countries to move away from fossil fuel energy systems towards more diverse, resilient and inclusive economies powered by renewable energy.
Our Statement can be viewed below. We are also taking steps to reduce our own carbon footprint and contribute a more environmentally sustainable healthcare system.
