Some of the journals including The Lancet, the New England Journal of Medicine, and the BMJ called for government action on climate change ahead of three important events; the next UN General Assembly meeting in September, the Kunming biodiversity summit in October, and COP26 in Glasgow in November. A document released jointly by the journals also mentioned that the wealthier countries will have to cut emissions faster, making reductions by 2030 beyond those currently proposed and reaching net-zero emissions before 2050.
