Advancing Health for All in a Changing Climate: Health Day at COP28

As we get ready for COP28 in Dubai and the first official Health Day, check out our new brief on what to expect, COP28 will be addressing important health concerns during the climate change discussions. It will be a significant milestone as it will have its first-ever dedicated “Health Day” on Sunday, 3 December. The health community has been working for a long time to emphasize the importance of health within the Conference of the Parties. This year, for the first time, Health has been officially included as one of the thematic focuses by the COP Presidency. This achievement is the result of collaborative efforts from the health community, the World Health Organization (WHO), countries, and the leadership from the UAE, who have consistently supported global health goals.
