PF and partners host interactive session at the sidelines of World Health Assembly 2024 in Geneva
Prudence Foundation, International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), Climate Resilience for All and Save the Children invite you to participate in an interactive session discussing the role of partnerships to advance work on climate and health.
The COP28 Declaration on Climate and Health calls for scaled up funding on climate and health including that of private funders. Progress on climate adaptation is slowing on all fronts when it should be accelerating to catch up with rising climate change impacts and risks, according to a new United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) report. 2023 showed us the shattering of month by month record high temperatures. Accelerated investments in climate and health solutions from all sectors is critical to avert catastrophic health impacts and prevent millions of deaths. There is opportunity for business community and private sector to support and amplify this work in addition to funding.
On the sidelines of the World Health Assembly, the session aims to discuss and highlight the role of public-private partnerships in advancing work on climate and health, with a focus on Asia and Africa:
The Panel Discussion will be joined by:
(Moderator) Petra Khoury Director, Health and Care Department, IFRC
Diana Guzman Chief Sustainability Officer, Prudential plc and Chair, Prudence Foundation
Kathy Baughman McLeod Chief Executive Officer, Climate Resilience for All
