Key messages:
Rigorous evidence synthesis is crucial for effective, efficient, and equitable climate action that safeguards both human and planetary health.
Climate actions often yield significant human health co-benefits that are frequently overlooked, emphasizing the overall gains of transitioning towards a net-zero society.
Proposals include forming a coalition of organizations, subnational, and national initiatives to accelerate progress towards net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. This coalition will prioritize monitoring and evaluating effects on health and greenhouse gas emissions while fostering the sharing of experiences and lessons learned.
