A multi-dimensional approach

Join Health Care Without Harm in its work on the intersection between climate, health, and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Please join the Skoll Foundation and Health Care Without Harm for an interactive workshop, Local solutions for Global Recovery: Taking on Climate, COVID and Health Inequity on Sept.16. In this session you will have an opportunity to share your own ideas about the challenges and opportunities at the critical intersections of health, climate, and justice with a top WHO official and frontline leaders from the United States, India, and South Africa.

In anticipation of the expansion of the cold chain needed to transport and store a coronavirus vaccine, this month we co-published an editorial on the need for a COVID-19 vaccine to be accompanied by sustainable, climate-friendly cooling.

The global Health Care Without Harm Network recently released a statement proposing a series of actions for governments and health care systems to consider when planning strategies for a more sustainable and just future.
