This ATACH Technical Meeting will bring together Health Professional Associations (HPAs) which are current members of ATACH, and others interested in learning more about the Alliance. The meeting will provide an opportunity to highlight the importance and benefits of HPA membership in ATACH, share updates on HPA activities undertaken to date, and discuss engagement opportunities for HPAs in ATACH.

The meeting will include dedicated time for discussion and questions, enabling participants to share experiences, clarify expectations, and explore how HPAs can actively engage in and benefit from ATACH, to leverage their collective power in support of climate and health action. This meeting is convened by Doctors for the Environment Australia (DEA), in its capacity of Health Professional Associations constituency representative in ATACH, in collaboration with the ATACH Secretariat.

The meeting will be held in 2 sessions with similar agendas so it is only necessary to attend one session.
