WHA78 and the Climate-Health Intersection: Progress, Gaps, and Way Forward
The report evaluates WHA78 as a period of broadening dialogue and significant policy adoption, notably the Global Action Plan on Climate and Health (GAP) and the first pandemic agreement. While it celebrates the inclusion of youth, persons with disabilities, and mental health in the agenda, it highlights critical shortcomings, including the absence of fossil fuel phase-out language and uncertainties regarding the implementation and funding of the GAP. The document advocates for a shift in narrative, framing climate action as a strategic health investment rather than a cost, and calls for greater inclusion of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and the Global South in leadership and R&D.
