Can the health sector chart a course to zero emissions and health equity? Responding to the launch of Health Care Without Harm’s Global Road Map for Health Care Decarbonization, participants will discuss the systems change necessary to align global climate and health goals in the 21st century to achieve zero emissions, climate resilient, pandemic-prepared health care.
Join health and climate leaders from around the world for a lively dialogue in three parts – and don’t miss an original poem from the U.S. Poet Laureate Emeritus and inspired music from a Pacific Island nation.
