    The time has come for us to measure the advancement of our civilisation through the metric of health rather than the metric of wealth. Yes indeed

    I commend Shweta Narayan and the individuals she highlighted in her talk for their efforts in providing healthcare and education to those who are truly at a disadvantage because of decisions made outside of their control. As proposed in this talk, I believe, by making health at the heart of climate change we will reach more people and will have a greater impact on the opinion people have on climate change. By showing real impacts of climate change and pollution, we will create more interest and more drive to make changes and do better for our health while making a difference for the environment and health of the planet as well. I don’t think many people are aware of the impacts of natural disasters, like floods, on healthcare systems especially in low income and marginalized communities. Loss of power, unsafe working conditions, and having to destroy medications and other supplies due to contamination or improper storage. I recently read a statistic that if global health care was its own country, it would be the 5th largest contributor to carbon emissions in the world. So just as Shweta Narayan said, this problem is a double edged sword. I would personally love to see move push and more action being taken in the USA as we are one of the most wealthy countries and still really not doing our part to decrease our emissions. Medical professionals, like doctors and nurses, are viewed as some of the most trusted professionals, and if we can motivate these individuals to advocate for these types of changes in their own hospitals and beyond, there is so much potential for change. Health should not be determined by a person’s wealth. I absolutely love the points made by Narayan about the principles of “do no harm” in all decisions. We have recently seen this come to the forefront with the train derailment in Ohio, political decisions and actions made about gun control, LGBTQ+ rights, and many other topics. Climate justice is justice for all.

    Yeah you are right. People should think about do no harm before buying goods and services from businesses.

    "Bad, wrongful, harmful and unjust behaviour needs to stop". What a surprising and profound insight. I always thought Bad, wrongful, harmful and unjust behaviour needed to continue. (Sarcasm)
    But seriously, this talk took the almost tautological "good things are good, bad things are bad", and tried to make it sound like a novel insight.
    The tricky questions are ones with a tradeoff. You have a fresh human heart, and a transplant patient across the country. You can charter a private jet to get it their now. Or put it on already flying passenger planes, and it will arrive a bit slower. You have a chart showing the heart has a 10% chance of rejection if fresh, and a 30% chance if less fresh. They don't say how to trade good healthcare vs pollution. They don't say how to trade off people not having electricity vs pollution.

    Appreciate as it's high time n most needed thing of an hour .It is destructing draining earth's natural resources along with living beings in the name of development,economy n progress but ultimately creating only wastage of resources n leading to misuse n wastages of material things as which r easily available at cheaper price sadly on the cost of mother earth.
    I seek blessings 🙏 to fulfill your noble aim

    Not remotely true, although the proportion of healthy people will likely be smaller than in a healthier biosphere.

    what he says is very good, but caring for the environment and also for health is something that should be given as a subject in primary and secondary schools, that is the problem, today in schools people are programmed to that they are employees of these polluting companies, the fight against them is

    Thank you for her sharing. But i wonder, climate change affects our health, and first, "do no harm". Is it practical ? I don't know but we talk about enviroment problem a lot, but I don't see any project or method practical and effectively .......

  • @donaldhobson8873
    @donaldhobson8873 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The "first do no harm" doctrine was used to stop human challenge trials, and to recall vaccines with tiny risks of blood clots. (Blood clot risk far far smaller than covid risk)
    "First do no harm" privileges doing nothing.
    Pick the action that overall leads to the most good. Sometimes avoiding any chance of doing any harm just means a greater harm of inaction.

    To meet the worldwide demand of energy without hurting Mother Earth, we need these kinds of energy: wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, tidal, and biomass. But for the next 1000 years we also need nuclear fusion. Someday, however, we will need to get energy from tiny black holes. 💕 ☮ 🌎 🌌

    This whole speech is based on the premise that the planet is actually “sick”. It is not. Life expectancy globally has skyrocketed, largely due to an abundance of inexpensive and reliable fossil fuel energy. The exact same can be said for our resilience to at responding to natural disasters, largely due to the wealth and response capability fueled by hydrocarbons. The death rate from natural disasters just 1-200 years ago was astronomically higher than it is today and that is the result of fossil fuels and the technologies which they fuel or helped create. This misanthropic cliche that humans are poisoning the earth for profits and greed and that we already have obvious and effective solutions that said greed is preventing, is just naive simplistic. You can see it in her appeals to solar panels as this panacea and the delusional belief that on the back of “green” or “renewable “ energy, we will reach 100% zero omissions. We will not and the failure to grasp that and the complexities of energy production as well as the failure to realize that all of this stuff requires making painful trade offs will only cause more damage and suffering in the misallocation of trillions of dollars of “green “ projects that are doomed to fail.

    Please atleast leave healthcare from climate change improvement.
    People need to live first in order to enjoy climate.
    Start with other factors like industry ,pollution etc.
    Healthcare must be priority over climate change.
