A significant intervention from @who.int, particularly around the co-benefits of climate investments on health outcomes. What I call “win wins.”

And great to see the COP29 Special Report, developed by 100s of experts, elevated as well.
Today marks a pivotal step in the @who.int efforts to address climate change and its impact on health.

In a landmark moment that will resonate for years to come, our Director-General has made a significant statement at the International Court of Justice.
