As we embrace the upcoming virtual UNGA side-event, we are excited to introduce a series dedicated to fostering global learning and impactful action. Our focus: Climate Change and its Implications for Global Health Equity.

In recent years, the undeniable impact of climate change on global health programs has come to the forefront, presenting a complex and urgent challenge across the developing world. In this series CORE Group members will delve into the critical intersection of climate change and its multifaceted effects on global health in order to further CORE Groups’ strategic response to climate action. By recognizing the unique vulnerabilities and opportunities faced by CORE Group members and their partners, we seek to foster a greater understanding of the intricate relationship between climate change and global health equity, including an exploration of successful adaptive measures to foster resilience in global health programming.

Webinar Objectives:
