Coalition of organizations calls out for the phase-out of fossil fuels

On November, Health Care With Harm and the Global Climate and Health Alliance launched the COP28 Open Letter on fossil fuels, unifying the voice of organizations representing over 46 million health care professionals from 135 countries.

Global Optimism invited the letter to join forces with similar initiatives from other sectors, including We Mean Business Coalition, the Union of Concerned Scientists, the Climate Crisis Advisory Group, C40 cities, and The Global Climate & Health Alliance, to publish an advert on the Financial Times on November 30.

This initiative aims to demonstrate momentum across real economy towards phasing out fossil fuels and moving to clean energy. It underscores that this transition is economically irresistible, with tangible benefits to people, and sends a clear call for collaboration to governments to accelerate the process.
