Climate adaptation plan focused on health has been presented at the COP30 summit
35 international non-profit organizations announced today that they will allocate $300 million over the next three years to climate emergency initiatives, including the Gates, Wellcom Trust or the Rockefeller Foundation.
Brazil today presented at the COP30 Summit the 'Belem Health Action Plan', a global climate change adaptation plan that has been developed for the first time with health at the centre and in which dozens of countries, institutions, businesses and popular initiatives have participated. It includes concrete initiatives to strengthen health systems in the face of the climate emergency.
Presented by the Brazilian Minister of Health, Alexandre Padilha, the plan is based on two pillars: equal health opportunities and governance with the participation of the civilian population, while the lines of action will be three: monitoring and control of health from a climate perspective; policies, strategies and training; and innovation, production and digital health.
The measures envisaged include the establishment of measures to strengthen epidemic control ; the incorporation of new voices into health decision-making tables, including indigenous peoples; and the promotion of research; and the emphasis on the production of basic health products.
To ensure compliance with the Plan, global monitoring mechanisms will be put in place under the supervision of the World Health Organization.
