The session presented unique perspectives on addressing the notion of evidence to action in context of the impact of climate change on health. Although each of the speakers had different backgrounds and varying expertise, all shared commonality in expressing the scale of the crisis we face. Urgency, transformational change, and equity and justice were explicitly stated by Kathryn Bowen as three key notions with regards to the climate-heath nexus, which were present, reiterated and expressed by all speakers within the context of their presentations. The key takeaway from this session was that to accelerate pathways for health people and a healthy planet, these notions should be at the forefront of thinking about how we generate and utilise evidence for action.
