PATH at COP28

November 14, 2023 by PATH

At COP28 in Dubai, PATH will join international leaders, experts, and partners to confront pressing climate challenges and chart the course towards a healthier, more sustainable future.

Between November 30th and December 12th, PATH delegates will convene with global leaders to advocate for investments in climate-resilient health care systems and sustainable technologies that promote public health.

This year, COP28 will host the first Health Day and climate-health ministerial that aims to build consensus on priority actions for the health system's response to climate change, paired with financing commitments for implementation.

Emphasizing the intersection of climate and health, PATH will champion initiatives that address climate change's immediate impacts on communities while advancing health care solutions that mitigate long-term, climate-related health risks.
