At COP31, WHO and ATACH will work with partners to help place health at the heart of climate discussions by advancing climate-resilient and environmentally sustainable health systems. Building on the momentum from recent COPs, COP31 offers an opportunity to accelerate implementation, strengthen accountability and elevate country action.
The vital inclusion of Dynamic and Resilient Health Systems in the COP31 Presidency’s ten priority themes signals growing recognition that health is both a frontline impact of climate change and a foundation for effective climate response. Resilient health systems help countries anticipate, prevent and respond to climate-related health risks while advancing equity, continuity of care and long-term social resilience.
The dedicated COP31 Health Day will take place on the first day of the Conference, 9 November, coinciding with the thematic priorities on Food and Agriculture. It will be followed by the ATACH Day on 10 November at the COP31 Health Pavilion, and the high-level World Leaders' Summit on 11-12 November.
More details and health related events will be available on this page soon. Find out more about health at climate negotiations here.
