In June 2024, eleven Multilateral and Public Development Banks united to launch the Joint Roadmap for Climate-Health Finance and Action. This groundbreaking initiative marks a pivotal step in addressing the profound health impacts of climate change through coordinated investments. The roadmap outlines a strategic framework aimed at increasing and prioritising investments tailored to country-specific needs. It emphasises partnerships across governments, civil society, and the private sector to bolster climate and health resilience at local, national, and global scales. Key focuses include understanding climate-health intersections, enhancing regional capacities, and ensuring transparent, accountable financing mechanisms. This collaborative effort seeks to catalyse transformative action to mitigate climate-related health risks and build sustainable health systems worldwide.
