MASH, Robert. Climate change, global health and the post-COVID world. Comments on Benatar (S Afr J Sci. 2022;118(11/12)). S. Afr. j. sci. [online]. 2023, vol.119, n.3-4, pp.1-2. ISSN 1996-7489.  https://doi.org/10.17159/sajs.2023/15658.

SIGNIFICANCE: Our world is facing an environmental crisis with major consequences for health. From a health perspective, the choice between development and the environment is a false dichotomy. Humanity can only flourish between a solid social foundation and an ecological ceiling. We are struggling with both objectives. Renewed commitment to the primary health care approach is one sign of hope and the emergence of both Planetary Health and One Health. We need a stronger health voice in the conversation, alongside others, such as our youth and faith communities. The sustainable development goals need inner development goals across the whole of society.
