WHO at UNGA79: The Health Argument for Climate Action [1]
[]
Date: 2024-09-23
The climate crisis is a health crisis. The same human activities destabilizing the Earth’s climate also contribute directly to poor health. A lack of progress in reducing emissions and building adaptation threatens both human lives and the viability of national health systems.
In collaboration with the UAE and other partners, WHO will be hosting the event “The Health Argument for Climate Action" which will highlight the crucial interconnection between health and climate change, this shared impact on other sectors, as well as the health co-benefits of climate and health action.
This event will provide an opportunity to report back on the key decisions made since COP28, to outline the health-related initiatives planned at COP29 and aspirations for COP30, as well as to call for raising ambition, accelerating concrete action and mobilizing finance for health. It will illustrate how climate mitigation, adaptation and resilience are essential to our economic growth, national security and controlling migration, while ensuring alignment across the SDGs and other initiatives. The event will be live-streamed on this webpage.
