Advancing Health and Climate Outcomes through Cross-Sector Collaboration
Online
Date: 27 October 2026
Co-hosted by NDC Partnership Support Unit, WHO, Alliance for Transformative Action on Climate and Health (ATACH) and Australia
The Raising Ambition through Partnership (RAP) webinar series explores mitigation and adaptation opportunities, demonstrating how practical action drives higher climate ambition. Through these insights, the series promotes exchange and learning to scale impact across the NDC Partnership.
The links between climate and health create unique opportunities to advance outcomes in climate change mitigation, adaptation, and development across sectors. Through cross-sectoral collaboration, countries can maximize the health benefits of climate action while building more resilient, sustainable communities and health systems. With dynamic and resilient health systems serving as one of ten interconnected priorities of the COP31 Presidency’s Action Agenda and clear connections between health and the other Action Agenda priorities, this “Implementation COP” presents a key opportunity to demonstrate ambition through health-centered implementation.
This webinar will convene countries and partner organizations to examine what is needed to drive cross-sectoral collaboration on health and climate outcomes and move from planning to implementation.
This webinar will be held in two session to accommodate different timezones, you will only need to attend one session
