Climate’s impact on health: How do we respond?

Our health and the planet’s health are clearly linked. Watch this online event on planetary health and learn how we respond to climate change to protect our own health.

How the world is responding to the climate crisis is under the spotlight of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. To coincide with the IPCC session, Devex invites you to watch this event held on LinkedIn on the 14th of March. Together with experts from across the climate and health space, we discuss this response with a focus on the practical steps the humanitarian and development sector can take to ensure the future of health care in the face of climate change.
