Over 200 health journals call on the United Nations, political leaders and professionals to recognize that climate change biodiversity loss are one indivisible crisis must be tackled together preserve avoid catastrophe. This overall environmental is now so severe as a global emergency.

Objectives To find what proportion of a broad set health journals have published on climate change and health, how many articles they published, when first the subject. Design Bibliometric study. Setting participants We conducted electronic searches in Ovid MEDLINE ALL for about human from 1860 to 31 December 2022 330 journals. There were no limits by language or publication type. Results independently screened two raters article eligibility. After screening there 2932 eligible across 253 between 1947 2022; most (2795/2932; 95%) English. A few early 90s, but has been rapid increase since 2006. unable categorise types estimate that fewer than half are research papers. While 39 countries, two-thirds (1929/2932; 66%) journal UK USA. Almost quarter (77/330; 23%) articles, almost three-quarters (241/330; 73%) five fewer. The joint editorials over 200 2021 boosted number publishing something health. third (112/330; 34%) our sample at least one editorials, those (32/112; 29%) time. Conclusions Health rapidly increasing amount publish despite being major threat global had until recently little nothing. editorial multiple increased coverage, it was thing
