🌍💚 COP30 RECAP
Earlier at COP30, our network of regional experts came together at the WHO Pavilion for the session “Leaving no one behind: addressing the climate–health burden on vulnerable groups in the EECCA region.”
The discussion highlighted how climate impacts in our region are increasingly becoming public health risks, from rising temperatures and air pollution to water stress and climate-driven diseases. Speakers shared concrete examples of how governments, NGOs, local authorities, and tech actors can work together to safeguard vulnerable communities.
Key takeaways:
🔸 climate and health policies must be aligned
🔸 vulnerable groups need targeted adaptation support
🔸 early-warning systems and accessible healthcare are essential
🔸 local authorities must be equipped and financed to act
As we reflect on COP30, the message remains clear: protecting the most vulnerable is central to effective climate action in EECCA.
