SUMMARY:COP30 Health Outcomes | Climate Change and Health Community | Final Meeting of the year
DESCRIPTION:The Climate Change and Health Community invites everyone to their finaly Community Meeting of the year 2025! 🌍\nAs a Guest Speaker, Marek Szilvasi will share first-hand insights into the COP30 health outcomes and discuss their implications for the health sector. You find the abstract of his presentation and his short bio below.\nIf you would like to join the online meeting via Zoom, please registere here: Meeting-Registrierung - Zoom\nWe look forward to seeing you there and closing the year with an inspiring discussion. 🌡️🌱\n \nKlaus, Donald, Jennyfer and the Hub Management Team 🤝🌐\n \nAbstract\nThe health impacts of climate change are increasingly tangible. The newly released 2025 Lancet Countdown on Climate and Health—the largest analysis of its kind - indicates that millions of people die each year as a result of insufficient climate action. Every country is now starting to experience some combination of extreme heat, water scarcity, food insecurity, and changing patterns of infectious disease. Despite mounting scientific evidence, adaptation efforts remain fragmented, incremental, and mostly reactive. The decision to operationalize the Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) - established by the Paris Agreement under the United Nation Framework Convention of Climate Change (UNFCCC) - at COP28 in 2023 was therefore a landmark achievement, introducing a structured framework to measure collective progress across 7 thematic and 4 cross-cutting dimensions. Yet significant challenges persist—including in the climate and health thematic target. At COP30, parties are expected to adopt this critical framework, including  a robust, comprehensible, and equitable set of indicators, to institutionalise climate and health nexus under the UNFCCC and ensure that climate policy is grounded in public health and health equity. This talk will provide an initial reflection and analysis of the COP30 outcomes in developing a critical framework for climate and health synergies under the GGA.\n \nShort Resume\nDr Marek Szilvasi is a climate impacts and adaptation, public health and health equity expert.
