Resumo
O Relatório Lancet Countdown tem feito importantes contribuições ao denunciar os principais agravos à saúde ambiental, graças à ação antropogênica, cada vez mais intensa. O desflorestamento, os incêndios florestais, cada vez mais incontroláveis, a seca, o consumo de combustíveis fósseis, o uso de energia não renovável, propiciam o aparecimento de alterações climáticas caracterizadas por ondas de calor, tempestades cada vez mais intensas, inundações e o consequente comprometimento da saúde dos humanos. A versão Lancet Countdown South America apresenta de forma clara e chocante as alterações no continente e faz chamamento para que essas alterações sejam bloqueadas, pois ainda há tempo.

Abstract
The Lancet Countdown Report has made significant contributions by exposing the main impacts on environmental health caused primarily by increasingly intense anthropogenic action. Deforestation, increasingly uncontrollable forest fires, drought, fossil fuels, and nonrenewable energy contribute to the onset of climate change. This change is characterized by heat waves, increasingly intense storms, and floods that, consequently, compromise human health. The South America report of The Lancet Countdown highlights the alarming changes occurring in the continent and urges action to stop these changes while there is still time.
