Adapting to climate change to end infectious diseases: needs, best practices, innovations and resources
Climate change is a major threat to eliminating climatesensitive infectious diseases which are part of the SDG3 targets.
The epidemiology of these diseases is changing due to climate
change, and the occurrence of deadly outbreaks has intensified.
Political attention, financing, strategies and tools in climate
change adaptation are needed to go back on track on the disease elimination path. With COP30 coming up and the
expected increased attention on adaptation and health, this
event will contribute to fill awareness gaps, highlight good
practices and innovation opportunities, and promote the
mobilization of a community of interest and commitment in
programmatic development, funding and advocacy.
