Abstract
Abstract Despite the optimism that accompanied the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change’s Paris Agreement in relation to delivering human and planetary health co-benefits, progress has been slow. From the standpoint of bioethics, the Paris Agreement is important in how it commits the parties to the UNFCCC to be mindful of people’s “right to health” when they take action to address climate change. However, ensuring that “the right to health” is not compromised when ensuring “climate justice” has the potential to create tensions in reconciling social and climate justice co-benefits in the domains of health and health care. In this chapter the “right to health” and the concepts of social justice and climate justice are explored in relation to health and healthcare systems, leading to a wider consideration into the way in which human and environmental health are mediated by social and economic inequalities for households, communities, nations, and globally. Finally, the chapter explores how those who lead health and healthcare systems understand their obligations in relation to addressing social and climate inequalities, drawing on the concept of a proportionate, universal approach to justice.
