The nutritional status of the global poor can be bolstered by improving access to water and sanitation. Finally, health and other benefits will accrue from increased family planning support and improved education, including in regions that are currently food insecure.

Call for emergency action to limit global temperature increases, restore biodiversity, and protect healthThe UN General Assembly in September, 2021, will bring countries together at a critical time for marshalling collective action to tackle the global environmental crisis. They will meet again at the biodiversity summit in Kunming, China, and the UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow, UK. Ahead of these pivotal meetings, we—the editors of health journals worldwide—call for urgent action to keep average global temperature increases below 1·5°C, halt the destruction of nature, and protect health.
