As #climatechange results in a myriad of worsening, complex weather events including extreme storm systems, floods, wildfires, and droughts, every year more people experience ill health or death due to undernutrition, severe heat, pollution, antimicrobial resistance, Dengue, and diarrheal disease. It threatens to reverse progress in health and sustainable development and disproportionately impacts the most vulnerable countries and communities around the world. The World Health Organization now estimates that climate change will cause 250,000 additional deaths per year between 2030 and 2050. At #WHA77, member states approved a resolution on climate and health to spur greater action. As we reflect on those achievements and the progress we have made, we also look ahead to #COP29 in Azerbaijan and #COP30 in Brazil. #Primaryhealthcare is the first and best line of defense against health threats, and is at the forefront of preventing, detecting, responding, and adapting to the health impacts of climate change. Please join Kimberly Green and Dr. Swati Mahajan Mahajan from PATH, Agnes Soares da Silva from Ministry of Health Brazil, Daouda DIOUF from Foundation S, and Vincent Bretin from Unitaid as they discuss locally-led #PHC solutions that address the complex impact of climate change on the health and wellbeing of people across the globe.
