- Abstract
This article discusses the links between climate change, fossil fuel use, and public health outcomes, with a focus on asthma as a case study. It highlights the impact of climate change on weather systems and air quality, as well as the harmful effects of air pollution from fossil fuel use on human health. The article also emphasizes the need for action, including the rapid decarbonization of energy systems, adoption of a healthcare without harm framework, and preparation of public health systems to prevent and control asthma exacerbations. The authors call for a comprehensive approach to address the complex challenges arising from the climate change, air pollution, and fossil fuel triad.
