Growth in Urban SlumsA total 227 million people in the world have moved out of slum conditions since 2000 but the absolute number of slum dwellers has increased from 777 million in 2000 to 828 million in 2010

“ …. in many cases, there is a net financial outflow from poorer to richer countries – an alarming state of affairs” (p 38)
“Structural inequities in the global institutional architecture maintain unfairness in trade-related processes and outcomes” (p 132)

Inequality (Gini coefficient)
Global Wealth Inequality = 89 (official exchange rates)
• Higher than wealth inequality in any individual country
• Top 5% individuals take 71% of global wealth%• Bottom half, take 1%• The middle 60% take 6%

1,426 individuals have more wealth ($5.4 trillion) than the total 2010 GDP of South America ($3.5 trillion, pop. 392 million) and Africa ($1.6 trillion, pop. 1 billion)CIA World Factbook 2000-2010
8.5 million people (1/14th of 1%) own 84% of total global personal (private) financial wealth.

Costs of the Financial Crisis (2008-10)• Direct public subsidy to banks: over USD 100 billion annually by the US/UK
governments– Total bank bailouts: USD 9 trillion*– Total stimulus: USD 2.4 trillion**– Total IMF emergency loans: USD 1.0 trillion
[total global ODA = USD 0.1 trillion]
• Recessionary effects and lost global economic income: around USD 4 trillion annually, expected to persist for many years, and likely ranging between USD 60 and 200 trillion
* This figure excludes large bailouts in Spain, Ireland, Greece and other non-G20 countries but some of this may be recovered as banks become profitable, if the bailout is in the form of (generally non-voting) shares** 25% spent on social welfare

Health and Social Consequences of the Crisis
• In Europe and US states increase in suicides • In Greece, suicides have risen by more than 60% since
2007. • Labour market policies can reduce effects
• 28,000-50,000 excess infant deaths in sub-Saharan Africa in 2009
• Increase in out of pocket spending on health, ‘medical poverty’

Those who support fiscal tightening argue that it is indispensable for restoring the confidence of financial markets, which is perceived as key to economic recovery. This is despite the almost universal recognition that the crisis was the result of financial market failure in the first place… (p.V)

Total net Official Development Assistance (ODA) received worldwide in 2010 was $130.5 billion, compared to world military spending of $1629
billion.

How will breaching planetary boundaries affect human health ?
(Rockstrom et al Nature 2009)
• Non –linear effects • Synergies • Drivers –
consumption, population, urbanisation etc
• Putting health in an ecosystem framework

• Recent estimates suggest 40 % chance of 4º C rise in Temperature by 2100 with Business as Usual (IEA 2012, WB 2013)

An adaptability limit to climate change due to heat stress
Steven C. Sherwood and Matthew Huber PNAS 2010
Exceeding peak heat stress for extended periods should induce hyperthermia in humans
‘....It would begin to occur with global-mean warming of about on 7 °C, calling the habitability of some regions into question’
D.S.Battisti and R.L. Naylor . Science 2009

2010 – a harbinger of things to come? Pakistan floods ~ 20 m affected Chinese floods ~ 12m displaced
Russian drought and fires –wheat harvest down ~ 30% 56,000 extra deaths in Moscow and Western Russia
Record temperatures in 17 countries.

The Global Water Crisis
Water scarcity is growing - by 2025 more than half of the world’s population is projected to live under conditions of severe water stress
276 major transboundary watersheds cross the territories of 145 countries
70% of all freshwater is used for irrigation 50-60% of wetlands have been lost

Health co-benefits from the ‘low-carbon’ economy
Through policies in several sectors e.g.• Housing• Transport• Food and agriculture• Electricity generation
![Page 25: From Planet to Patients - Health Under Threat Andy Haines Medact re-launch conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070422/568163a1550346895dd4a12a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Barriers to policy change
• Vested interests• Organised denialism• Political short-termism• Divided public opinion• Perception that change is
expensive and difficult

Climate Consequences of Regional Nuclear War
• Nuclear explosions ignite fires that burn whole cities• Soot lofted high into the atmosphere absorbs
incoming sunlight• Dramatic decrease in amount of light reaching the
surface• Large, rapid drops in surface temperature

Nuclear War: The Impact on Agriculture
Decline in available food
Increases in food prices
Food inaccessible to hundreds of millions of the world’s poorest
World grain stores only sufficient for 68-80 days
215 million people added to rolls of malnourished

Why is needed.
• Addressing the interlinked crises- global environment, weapons of mass destruction, socioeconomic and governance.
• Rebutting attacks on science by special interests
• Putting health at the heart of development
