The climate crisis is a health crisis and a threat to child survival. At the 77th World Health Assembly, Members States will consider a resolution on climate change and health which is a building block towards integrated action on climate and health. The resolution will complement the General Comment 26 of the Committee on the Rights of the Child (GC26) and the COP28 Declaration on climate and health. This side event demonstrated how to translate these policies into implementation at national and local levels with the support of finance, and mainstreaming child rights and a child
sensitive approach.
