We want our crises back!
Germany’s online WELT (published mid-May 2026) outlines a major health and climate policy demand made by a “high-level expert commission” to the World Health Organization (WHO).

According to WELT, a pan-European expert commission on health and sustainable development, appointed by the WHO and chaired by former Icelandic Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir, is urging the WHO to declare the climate crisis a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” This is the WHO’s highest level of alert, which was previously triggered during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Climate change an acute “medical emergency?
In its report, the commission emphasizes that the climate crisis is no longer an abstract threat to future generations. Instead, it is an acute danger to global health, security, social cohesion, and human rights.
Former German Federal Minister of Health Karl Lauterbach (SPD socialists) is a member of this commission, and he strongly supports the proposal, calling climate change an acute “medical emergency.” He warned that climate change must be placed at the very top of the WHO’s agenda, arguing that waiting makes no sense given the severe health consequences, such as tens of thousands of heat-related deaths and the health impacts of fossil fuel combustion.
