Programme details
Climate change poses significant threats to public health, particularly among vulnerable populations living under conditions of inequity. Disadvantaged communities, often marginalized and overlooked, find themselves on the front lines of climate-induced health risks. The urgency of the moment demands concerted action across all fronts to safeguard the health and well-being of every individual, with particular attention to those under vulnerable situations. In this context, addressing the intersection of climate change and health requires multifaceted approaches that leverage science, technology, and innovation to enhance resilience, surveillance systems, and education within the healthcare sector.
This session will address the interdependence between health and climate change, highlighting the importance of joint action to achieve the goals of the 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreement. It will bring together experts and representatives from different sectors to discuss solutions and strategies for strengthening the relationship between both agendas. The debate and exchange of experiences among the participants has the potential to contribute to the development of more effective actions to address climate change and to promote global health.
Event format: Round table;
Speakers: researchers, scientists and managers from public institutions, federal, state, and local governments, UN agencies from Asian countries, key actors from the African continent, and others.
