Description Dasandi et al argue that human health has become a key consideration in recent global reports on climate change and biodiversity produced by various international organisations; however, greater attention must be given to the unequal health impacts of climate change and biodiversity loss around the world and the different health adaptation measures that are urgently required.

Most recent major global reports on climate change and biodiversity produced by international organisations emphasise the links with human health, which shows that health is becoming a central issue in climate change/biodiversity policy.

These major global reports emphasise the health im- pacts and the health cobenefits of mitigation action. They also focus particularly on food, air pollution and extreme weather events.

There is a lack of detailed attention in these reports on the need to adapt health systems and policies to the effects of climate change and biodiversity loss.

This includes a lack of consideration of the vast differences in the capacities of health systems around the world to adapt to these effects.

There is an urgent need for greater focus on the unequal health impacts of climate change and biodiversity loss, as these reports currently pay insufficient attention to the disproportionate consequences in low-income and middle-income countries, and on vulnerable groups.
