Advocacy and partnerships on health and Climate Change
World Health Organization implements a broad range of advocacy
and partnership activities on climate change and health in order to: raise awareness; strengthen international collaborations;
enhance scientific evidence; and support health systems to respond to and
prepare for a rapidly changing climate.
WHO raises awareness on climate risks to health through advocacy
campaigns, publications and policy briefs, and the representation of WHO and
health actors in climate fora.
Through partnerships, networks and collaborations WHO helps to
drive the global action needed to protect health from climate risks, and
realize the health benefits of low-carbon energy choices.
WHO works with leading experts and institutions worldwide to
improve the understanding and evidence base of the linkages of health and
climate, the burden of disease attributable to climate change, and the economic
and health gains from ambitious climate change adaptation and mitigation actions.
