Planetary health: countering commercial and corporate power

Abstract

That the insufficient response to climate change and pollution is jeopardising human life and livelihood,1 accounting for 7 million deaths annually,2 is no longer in doubt. Pollution, whether produced locally or transported via air and international trade,3 is the main cause of death worldwide. The strong correlations between pollution, climate change, and deleterious effects on planetary health are the result of the global economic model.4,5 Such anthropogenic tendencies exacerbate social and health inequalities, with the most disadvantaged people1 in low-income countries—women in particular—being disproportionately affected by floods, heat waves, bitter cold, and air pollution.
