Abstract

The word unequivocal is rare in medicine and stands out in the latest report of the United Nations (UN) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which states that "the human toll of climate change is unequivocal and growing." 1 The report issues three clear warnings and a call to action for everyone in the health sector.
