The 2021 Global Conference on Health & Climate Change, with a special focus on Climate Justice and the Healthy and Green Recovery from COVID-19, will convene on the margins of the COP26 UN climate change conference. The aim of the conference is to call on governments, businesses, institutions, and financial actors to drive green, healthy, and resilient recovery from COVID-19.
The Conference will support and highlight countries’ ambitious and just Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to the Paris Agreement that promote and protect health. It will also mobilize the rapidly growing movement of health professionals around the world who are now driving ambitious climate action.
The conference will be delivered in a hybrid format, with both in-person and virtual speakers and attendees, using a dedicated hybrid conferencing platform. Recordings and short videos will be shared to complement the Programme. Additional materials may also be provided via a dedicated conferencing platform. The conference will include two interactive segments dedicated to roundtable discussions for those attending in person and two breakout sessions for those attending virtually.
The Global Conference on Health & Climate Change is organized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Global Climate and Health Alliance (GCHA), in close collaboration with the Glasgow Caledonian University and its Centre for Climate Justice, the UK Health Alliance on Climate Change, the Centre on Climate Change and Planetary Health of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and the Wellcome Trust.
