The United Nations Framework on the Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) oversaw the 2015 Paris Agreement which sought the commitment of 196 parties to keep global warming under 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels. Only in 2023 during the Conference of Parties (COP28) did it host the first ever Health Day in its history, thereby recognizing the severe impacts the climate crisis had on health and wellbeing. With it came a series of financing commitments from a variety of donors to addressing the most urgent climate and health challenges affecting frontline communities globally. Ahead of this year’s COP29, we aim to revisit the current landscape of climate and health finance, the global mechanisms in place for civil societies and governments from which funding can be accessed, and share an example of how one major funding mechanism is currently being leveraged to address climate and child health issues at a country-level.

 

This session is part of the Climate Change and Health Forum, the second phase of the Child Health Task Force’s (CHTF) successful 2022-23 webinar series on climate change and children’s health. This session is jointly hosted by the Children’s Environmental Health Collaborative, CHTF, Save the Children, Global Communities, Global Climate and Health Alliance, and UNICEF.
