Are you at COP27?

The 27th Conference of the Parties (COP27) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is being held in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt from 6-18 November 2022. The goal is to build on previous discussions and actions and to pave the way for future ambition to effectively tackle the global challenge of climate change.

What are we doing?

Our goal is to highlight the importance of health for climate action. Through sharing our experiences and ongoing initiatives, we will be demonstrating the critical role that science-based, equity-centred, youth-privileged and Africa-led approaches should play in future-proofing health and health-proofing the future of cities globally.

We invite you to join us at any of our sessions below:
