But the actions with the most dramatic impact on greenhouse gases aren't necessarily the biggest winners for health.

Public health leaders from around the world weighed in on today's announcement, including United nations secretary general Ban Ki-moon, World health organization director-general Margaret Chan,

US secretary for the Department of health and human services Kathleen Sebelius and UK secretary of state for health Andy Burnham. Policies for mitigating the impact of climate change must align with policies for protecting public health,
