Health & climate at COP28, Communities Lead this Aids Day, World Malaria Report

Spotlight

Over 40 million health professionals demand bold health and climate action at COP28

On the first-ever Health Day at a COP, more than 40 million health professionals from around the globe joined the call to action by the World Health Organization (WHO) and civil society organizations, to prioritize health in climate negotiations at COP28.

Climate inaction is costing lives and impacting health every single day. Health workers demand immediate and bold action to phase out fossil fuels, transition to clean energy, build resilience and to support people and communities most vulnerable to impacts of the changing climate. They press for no more delays, no more excuses; urging action and justice now, for a healthy future for all.

Let communities lead becomes the call for this World Aids Day

Globally, 9.2?million people do not have access to the HIV treatment that they need. Each day 1700 lives are lost from HIV-related causes, and 3500 people are infected, with many not knowing their status or having access to treatment.

There is no cure for HIV infection. However, with access to effective HIV prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care, including for opportunistic infections, HIV infection has become a manageable chronic health condition, enabling people living with HIV to lead long and healthy lives.

Trends in the global malaria burden and response

Each year, WHO’s World malaria report provides a comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of trends in malaria control and elimination across the globe. This year’s report includes, for the first time, a dedicated chapter focused on the intersection between climate change and malaria.?

I am writing to share my thoughts on the recent developments surrounding health, climate action, and community empowerment, as highlighted by the World Health Organization (WHO) and partners. Empowering communities to take the lead, as emphasized on World AIDS Day, is paramount in ensuring access to HIV treatment and support services worldwide. While challenges persist, including access disparities and ongoing infections, efforts to promote awareness, prevention, and comprehensive care are crucial steps forward. The intersection of climate change and malaria, highlighted in the latest World Malaria Report, underscores the need for integrated strategies. Addressing climate factors alongside malaria control efforts is essential for sustained progress and eventual eradication. I commend the collaborative efforts showcased by funders, partners, and organizations endorsing guiding principles for climate and health financing. Initiatives addressing sexual misconduct, enhancing clinical research infrastructure sustainably, and ramping up climate health support in developing nations are vital steps toward inclusive and resilient health systems. Together, we can work towards a healthier, more sustainable future.
