SCALING INNOVATIONS AT THE INTERSECTION OF CLIMATE HEALTH AND EQUITY

We are excited to share with you the insights and highlights from HIEx's recent gathering of global leaders, innovators, and change-makers. This event was a convergence of minds dedicated to tackling the pressing challenges at the intersection of climate and health. Through engaging discussions, innovative solutions, and collaborative efforts, we explored ways to fortify health systems against the impacts of climate change. 

Over the course of the event, we partnered with ministries of health in Africa and Asia to identify and address key climate and health priorities. Our focus was on leveraging innovative approaches and strategic investments to build resilient health systems capable of confronting the significant threats posed by climate change. Despite ongoing efforts, progress towards universal health coverage remains a critical challenge. This event served as a powerful platform to foster partnerships between countries, innovators, and the private sector, driving collective action towards sustainable and equitable health solutions.
