Abstract: Climate change presents a serious threat to global public health and requires an immediate, internationally coordinated, response. There may be considerable value in introducing a public health frame into the ongoing public—and policy—dialogue about climate change. The articles presented here explore the connections between climate change, public health and wellbeing.

Keywords: Climate change, public health, wellbeing, access, equity.
