doi: 10.5694/mja15.00655 Hfuture. In late November 2015, world leaders will gather in Paris for the 21st Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP21). The aim of the meeting is to deliver a global agreement that will reduce carbon emissions, with the aim of limiting global warming to an increase of 2 C. A failure to do so will have farreaching consequences for human health, in Australia and globally.
