Abstract
The impact of climate change on health in low- and middle-income countries is large and disproportionate to these countries' contribution to total greenhouse gas emissions. These health effects are both direct and indirect through climate change impact on food security, migration and political stability. In this commentary, we argue that a health equity and justice lens should be applied in climate policies.
