From heat stress and outbreaks of climate-sensitive diseases to infrastructure disruptions and emergency response failures, climate change is intensifying health risks around the world. It is increasingly critical for governments and communities to better anticipate and prepare for risks before they escalate — through early warning systems, disease surveillance, public awareness campaigns 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.

Investing in tools and services that enable governments and communities to stay ahead of climate-related health risks generates strong economic returns — by preventing illness, saving lives, and avoiding costly disruptions to health systems. 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 as we explore how countries and partners are advancing climate-informed health systems. Drawing on new research from World Resources Institute, commissioned by The Rockefeller Foundation, highlighting the economic case for climate services for health, this conversation will explore practical pathways to move from evidence to implementation — helping to protect lives, strengthen resilience and improve health outcomes in a warming world.
