Saving Lives in a Warming World: Investing in Climate Services for Health

This event will build on new WRI research that makes the case for governments and communities to better anticipate and prepare for climate-related health risks before they escalate — through early warning systems, disease surveillance, public awareness campaigns, workforce development, climate-sensitive planning, and more resilient health facilities. These proactive measures, collectively known as climate services for health, are powerful yet underfunded tools for reducing climate-related sickness and death.

But what does it take to scale climate services for health? How can countries integrate them into national health planning and financing? And what role can international organizations and funders play in accelerating their adoption?

In the lead up to the World Health Assembly, join us for a high-level discussion featuring global leaders and experts on how countries and partners are advancing climate-responsive health systems. This conversation will explore practical pathways to move from evidence to implementation — helping to protect lives, strengthen climate resilience and improve health outcomes in a warming world.
