A new key biodiversity platform for cross sectoral collaboration
For its inaugural launch, World Biodiversity Summit will help define what world leaders and the private sector in biodiversity and climate action need to do in the medium and long term to achieve sustainable development and hinder further biodiversity loss, focusing on partnerships and investment mechanisms as levers of progress. World Biodiversity Summit is a platform for responding to accelerating biodiversity loss, by using the Paris Agreement as a framework to learn from, promoting relevant solutions, innovations, and leadership networks, strengthening nature restoration and conservation. Nature-based solutions will be highlighted, from specificecosystems to global possibilities.
Partnerships for Resilient Future
Led by the World Climate Foundation, the World Health Network is a new platform addressing the accelerating climate and nature-related health risks.
This challenge requires cross-sector collaboration and a unified approach. The World Health Network connects the public and private sectors to set standards and norms for a resilient healthcare system.
The key objective is to accelerate public-private partnership solutions for a One Health Approach to achieve optimal health outcomes by recognising the interconnection between people, animals, plants, and their shared environment.
Activities
Throughout 2024, we will have a roadmap of activities during the most influential global convenings around the world - from Climate Week NYC to COP16 in Cali and COP29 in Baku - to engage and bring together relevant stakeholders and partners to address the growing pressure on health imposed by climate change and biodiversity loss. We will explore health-related topics in-depth at our upcoming World Climate Summit and World Biodiversity Summit.
Creating a More Resilient and Safe Future
Promoting and strengthening synergies across different sectors of society is crucial to prevent future health crises caused by climate and biodiversity challenges. Members and partners of the World Health Network have the opportunity to work closely across a wide range of sectors, as well as benefit from the collaboration in tackling this global challenge.
