Post Graduate Medical Journal: an article by Colin and David Harley called 'Primary, secondary and tertiary effects of eco-climate change: the medical response'. Actions to reduce individual emissions, to promote active transport (with its ‘co-benefit’ of preventing chronic disease), and involvement in group action to protect the environment and to prevent war, informed by understanding of the health of individual patients and populations, will be central to the practice of ecomedicine (emerging discipline that includes climate change, ecology and global health).
