Abstract
The 2024 Lord Darzi Review of the NHS stated that “often health and climate are mutually reinforcing goals”. Aligning climate and health objectives can help existing budgets to go further – something that is particularly relevant given the high levels of pressure on the NHS and tight public finances. But what do the public think about policies that could deliver for health and climate change simultaneously?
These slides summarise findings from a nationally representative sample (on the basis of age, gender and ethnicity) of 897 people who were asked to share their opinions about the benefits that climate action can bring and their level of support for policies that could reduce greenhouse gas emissions while improving public health.
