Global Conference on Climate and Health Set for Brasília
Brasília, Sunday, 15 June 2025.
The 2025 Global Conference on Climate and Health in Brasília aims to merge climate action with health improvement initiatives, emphasizing equitable strategies and systemic health policy changes.
Strategic Developments in Climate and Health
As the 2025 Global Conference on Climate and Health approaches, strategic focus is placed on the integration of climate initiatives with healthcare policies. This is expected to catalyze long-term systemic changes, emphasizing equitable climate action as a cornerstone for global health improvements. Hosted in Brasília, Brazil, from 29 to 31 July 2025, the event will see collaboration between the Brazilian government, the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Panamerican Health Organization (PAHO) [1].
Systemic Changes for Health Policy
One of the key objectives of the conference is to foster systemic change in health policy by aligning it with climate action. Participants aim to explore transdisciplinary approaches that include case studies from ATACH member countries, which will outline progress and provide recommendations for the Belém Health Action Plan. These contributions are intended to serve as blueprints for effective policy initiatives globally [1][2].
Long-term Impact on Healthcare Systems
The long-term impact of these strategic developments is expected to transform healthcare systems, making them more resilient to climate-induced challenges. This involves the development of health policies that prioritize preventive measures and the adoption of sustainable practices. Initiatives like these align with global efforts to bridge the gap between research and practical solutions that benefit vulnerable communities worldwide, as also discussed at forums by organizations like the Wellcome Trust [3].
Engagement and Collaboration
A significant aspect of these systemic changes is the engagement of local communities and the collaboration among stakeholders across different sectors. The conference will serve as a platform for presenting evidence-based research and promoting partnerships that can support integrated action for sustainable health and climate resilience. By bringing together diverse voices, including non-state actors, the event aims to champion a collective response to climate and health challenges, echoing sentiments already being addressed in other global environmental conferences [4][5].
