Time to Adapt: Accelerating Climate Adaptation for Health Equity—Catalyzing Solutions for Community Action
To spotlight the health challenges posed by climate change and advance the conversation on the financing required to support climate adaptation to achieve health equity, Foundation S, the Africa-Europe Foundation, and Foreign Policy hosted an event September 20 in New York City to launch an action report, Time to Adapt: Accelerating Climate Adaptation for Health Equity—Catalyzing Solutions for Community Action. The report—produced by Foundation S’s think tank, the Collective Minds Climate Council, with assistance from Management Sciences for Health (MSH)—highlights the connection between climate change and health and underscores the need to support locally led adaptation solutions to strengthen health resilience in the face of climate change.
