Following on earlier successful multi-journal editorials, the UK Health Alliance on Climate Change (UKHACC – www.ukhealthalliance.org) is inviting medical journals throughout the world to publish its annual editorial on climate change and health before the next UN climate change conference (COP28) in late November.
The idea is to publish the same editorial in as many journals as possible. As before, the current editorial was co-authored by a high-impact group of leading journal editors and other closely relevant specialists. This process has now been successfully applied three times over the last two years, with hundreds of top medical journals participating.
This is NOT a commercial activity and there are no costs or payments involved.
So, if you edit a medical journal or know someone who does, please contact me at chris.zielinski@ukhealthalliance.org and I will send you a copy of the editorial and the project rules.
