TL;DR: The Lancet Countdown track progress on health and climate change and provides an independent assessment of the health effects of climate change, the implementation of the Paris Agreement, 1 and 3.

TL;DR: The Lancet Countdown tracks 41 indicators across five domains: climate change impacts, exposures, and vulnerability; adaptation, planning, and resilience for health; mitigation actions and health co-benefits; finance and economics; and public and political engagement.

TL;DR: The proposed indicator domains require further refinement, and mark the beginning of an ongoing consultation process-from November, 2016 to early 2017-to develop these domains, identify key areas not currently covered, and change indicators where necessary.

TL;DR: The BRACE framework provides an excellent approach for health adaptation to climate change, and combined with the insights provided and by the adaptation pathways approach allows for more deliberate accounting of long-term uncertainties.

TL;DR: The collaboration is delighted to announce that Christiana Figueres will join as Chair of its High-Level Advisory Board and help guide the Lancet Countdown to maximise its impact and deliver on the promise of the Paris Agreement.
