![]() ![]() The recommendations are voluntary and provide flexibility to clinicians and patients to support individualized, patient-centered care. The guideline is a clinical tool to improve communication between clinicians and patients and empower them to make informed decisions about safe and effective pain care. The Clinical Practice Guideline supports the primary prevention pillar of the HHS Overdose Prevention Strategy – supporting the development and promotion of evidence-based treatments to effectively manage pain. The 2022 Clinical Practice Guideline addresses the following areas: 1) determining whether to initiate opioids for pain, 2) selecting opioids and determining opioid dosages, 3) deciding duration of initial opioid prescription and conducting follow-up, and 4) assessing risk and addressing potential harms of opioid use.

The publication updates and replaces the CDC Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain released in 2016. These clinical recommendations, published in the CDC Clinical Practice Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Pain, will help clinicians work with their patients to ensure the safest and most effective pain care is provided. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is releasing updated and expanded recommendations for clinicians providing pain care for adult outpatients with short- and long-term pain. ![]() However, stronger targets in 2030 are needed in order to put the world on a path to net zero.Pain affects the lives of millions of Americans every day and improving pain care and the lives of patients with pain is a public health imperative. The ever-increasing list of countries with net zero targets is encouraging. Countries that are not part of the 40 CAT countries and that put forward or propose updated targets for 2030 will be listed, but not analysed. The Climate Action Tracker is tracking these updated targets and, for the 40 countries we analyse, will provide a detailed analysis on how much of an improvement each updated target is, and how much it is aligned to the goals of the Paris Agreement. Governments decided to give themselves another year and agreed to ‘revisit and strengthen’ their targets further in 2022. At COP26 (November 2021), it was clear that the updated targets were still falling short and would, at most, limit warming to 2.4˚C, almost a full degree above the Paris temperature limit. Governments already knew at the time the Paris Agreement was adopted in 2015 that the level of emissions cuts proposed in their national targets (or nationally determined contributions (NDCs)) would be insufficient to limit warming to 1.5˚C and thus agreed to update those targets by 2020.
