(2023-05-27). Correspondence] Concerns about climate activism in clinical practice — Authors' reply. thelancet.com In 1989, The Lancet warned its readers about the threat of global warming: "the cost of doing nothing is incalculable".1 Other medical journals soon followed this lead and called for action against the climate crisis.

Each of these suggestions is so misaligned from the realities of contemporary clinical practice, and fundamentally at odds with the prioritisation of patients' health, that they are deeply concerning and entirely discrediting to the medical community.
(2023-05-27). Correspondence] Shelter is key to delivering on COP27 commitments. thelancet.com As detailed in the Lancet Countdown on health and climate change,1 the risks of climate change for human health are profound, and internationally coordinated efforts (eg, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change [UNFCCC]) are essential to the response.
