COP28 Climate and Health Declaration Summary

Key Concerns and Goals

• Express grave concern about climate change impacts on health.
• Stress importance of integrating health in UNFCCC/Paris Agreement processes.
• Commit to climate-resilient development, health system strengthening, and community resilience.
• Link emission reductions to health benefits (e.g., just transitions, sustainable diets).

Specific Areas of Focus

1. Policy Integration and Collaboration

• Strengthen policies to maximize health gains from climate actions and protect vulnerable populations (Indigenous Peoples, women, children, specific groups).
• Promote One Health approach, environmental determinants, antimicrobial resistance research, and zoonosis prevention.
• Prioritize adaptation actions across sectors (food, water, housing, health, transport, energy) for health outcomes.

2. Health System Resilience

• Enhance surveillance, early warning systems, workforce training for climate-sensitive health risks.
• Address mental health, displacement, livelihood impacts, and specific health challenges.

3. Equity and Sustainable Practices

• Combat inequalities; support SDGs, universal health coverage, and access to clean energy/water.
• Curtail health sector emissions through GHG inventories, decarbonization targets and sustainable practices like eco-friendly procurement.

4. Finance and Capacity Building

• Increase investments for health-climate interventions from national budgets, multilateral funds, and private sector.
• Improve synergies in international finance, enhance transparency, and align finance with country priorities.

5. Policy Processes and Implementation

• Integrate health in climate policy (Paris Agreement contexts) and mainstream climate in global health programs.
• Incorporate climate considerations into NDCs, LTGFs, NAPs, and Adaptation Communications.
• Enhance national and multilateral collaboration through initiatives like ATACH.
