Arthur Ng’etich and colleagues emphasize the importance of equity, justice, and inclusion in addressing the climate crisis and improving health systems. Despite some progress in reducing carbon emissions and transitioning to renewable energy sources, structural drivers of climate change and related inequities remain unchallenged, impacting public health. To achieve meaningful progress, it is essential to prioritize a just transition that addresses power imbalances in global financial systems, strengthens community participation in decision-making processes, and values equitable pay and fair labor practices. By using gender equality as an entry point, a transformative commitment to equality, inclusion, and a gender just transition can lead to sustainable systems promoting health and wellbeing for all.
