Programme details
Climate change impacts livelihoods and health through various direct and indirect pressures, and vulnerable populations facing social and economic inequalities are at the forefront of climate-induced health risks. This scenario calls for unified action to protect the health and well-being of all.
The World Health Organization highlights that the Paris Agreement is the most impactful health agreement of the 21st century and the United Nations has prioritized the view that it makes no sense to deal with development plans and the climate issue without placing them in the broader context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The panel “Health and Climate Change: The Greatest Challenge of Our Time” will explore this connection, highlighting the need for coordinated actions aligned with the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda.
The panel is organized by the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz, Brazil), a public institution of the Brazilian Ministry of Health. Fiocruz plays a central role in leading research and guiding health management tools. It significantly contributed to the development of the Brazil’s universal, public, equitable, and high-quality Unified Health System (SUS). With over 125 years, Fiocruz carries a legacy of experiences, lessons learned, and leadership in promoting sustainable development and strengthening democracy with equity.
Event format: Round table.
Speakers: researchers, scientists, and representatives from public institutions; UN agencies representatives; and other stakeholders.
