In January 2025, a significant new effort was announced at the World Economic Forum in Davos to address the health crises caused by our changing climate.
With a total of $50 million, this initiative aims to support the world’s most vulnerable nations in building resilient, low-carbon healthcare systems.
Climate change is currently acting as a threat multiplier, making it harder for fragile health systems to cope with disasters like droughts and floods.
By prioritizing locally led solutions, this initiative empowers national stakeholders to design strategies that specifically target the needs of their communities.
It serves as a vital step toward ensuring that global healthcare infrastructure can withstand the environmental challenges of the future, ultimately protecting the lives of those most affected by poverty and climate instability.
