Climate and Health Summit 2017
Ramping Up Action on Climate and Health in Cities and Regions
The 2017 Global Climate and Health Summit focused, through a health lens, on action in cities and regions to advance implementation of national targets under the Paris Agreement and build momentum for increased ambition in climate commitments.
The Summit combined dynamic plenary presentations with action-oriented, interactive “World Cafe” sessions that shared best practices and promising strategies for health sector involvement in addressing climate change, fostering deep intellectual exchange to galvanize implementation.
