Injury prevention experts Jagnoor Jagnoor and Kent Buse are urging for the integration of injury prevention into climate and health agendas. They stress the importance of addressing the relationship between climate change and injuries and violence, especially with the increasing frequency of climate-related disasters. They propose entry points for integration, such as investment in sustainable transport, safety considerations in climate adaptation measures, and addressing the impact of extractive economies on injuries and violence. They emphasize the need for inclusive governance and strong protections for vulnerable communities to prevent injuries and promote a healthy planet.
