Скачать или смотреть Resilient Cities, Reimagining Health: Making the Case for Prevention

Climate change is intensifying critical public health challenges and adding pressure to health systems, with vulnerable and low-income communities bearing the greatest burden. There is an urgent need to transition away from a top-down, treatment-based model to a more holistic approach with greater emphasis on prevention. Cities play a key role in advancing preventive approaches to support health in a changing climate, build resilience, and decarbonize health systems.

During this session at Yale @ Climate Week NYC 2025, the first report of the ‘Resilient Cities, Reimagining Health’ initiative was released, which demonstrates the need for place-based, climate-sensitive, preventive health approaches. Through structured review and economic analysis, we provided quantitative evidence on how climate will impact public health needs; key interventions to improve health, reduce costs and emissions, build equity and resilience; and a high-level framework for successful, city-led capacity building and implementation.

This event, hosted by Reckitt and Bupa, on behalf of the Sustainable Markets Initiative, the Resilient Cities Network, and Yale School of Public Health, brought together key stakeholders, including city representatives, public health and climate experts, funders and the private sector to launch this ‘Case for Action’ and build the roadmap to implementation at scale.
