Forecasting Healthy Futures

The second annual Forecasting Healthy Futures Global Summit offered a critical opportunity to engage global stakeholders and advance the #climate and #health movement, alongside the #COP29 leadership team as they finalized their agenda for this year’s UNFCCC conference in Azerbaijan. The #FHFSummit brought together – in Baku and virtually – a diverse group of more than 270 leaders and experts for three days of keynote presentations and a diverse array of transdisciplinary panels from the fields of humanitarian assistance, #agriculture, mental health, #WASH, #finance, & more. ⭐️ You can read more about the Summit’s revelations and consensus in our 2024 FHF Summit Report: https://bit.ly/4bMcoLN

🌍 This week, our CEO Martin Edlund spoke at the ADB-ADBI Policy Dialogue on “Investing in Climate Change Adaptation: Innovations in Climate-Induced Infectious Diseases Control for #Malaria and Tuberculosis.” The event brought together health and climate change experts and government officials to discuss actions to address the impacts of climate change on #infectiousdiseases. As global temperatures rise, so does the threat of malaria and other vector-borne diseases. Investing in innovative tools and technologies to help understand and forecast disease patterns will be critical to addressing the health impacts of #climatechange. 🦟 Thank you to the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and Asian Development Bank Institute for hosting this timely discussion.

🌡️ Extreme temperatures are causing heatwaves and fires across Europe this summer - and climate change is making these health threatening temperatures more common. 📈 Urgent fossil fuel phase out and adaption efforts are needed to protect against harms.

To beat extreme heat in #cities, we need to focus on 3 things, says the UN’s first Chief Heat Officer. Learn more about the health impacts of climate change in our report: https://lnkd.in/eVzupJJ3 UN-Habitat (United Nations Human Settlements Programme) #ClimateChange #ExtremeHeat"

Excited to share that my work at Amplify Health and Development in Africa (AHDA) has been featured in the Forecasting Healthy Futures' Climate Resilience Series. This profile highlights the role of youth leaders in leading community action to address the health impacts of climate change. I remain committed to advocating for stronger actions and solutions to protect health our communities from climate change. #ClimateResilience #ClimateHealth Malaria No More UK African Leaders Malaria Alliance (ALMA) Aloyce Urassa Link👇🏽 : https://lnkd.in/d7iZnJib

#ClimateChange & #Health: Turning Talk into Bold Action! Heatwaves, food insecurity, droughts...climate change is impacting human health in devastating ways. But resolutions aren’t enough! AVPN’s Aravindan Srinivasan is pushing for concrete action at the climate-health nexus, especially for Asia-Pacific. Why? Investing in solutions for both is critical. We need to: ✅ Fund health adaptation to respond to climate-driven health threats. ✅Affordable and localised interventions to make climate-health solutions accessible to everybody Ready to learn more? Head to our blog for insights from Aravindan’s recent climate-health summits! 🔗 :https://bit.ly/4bNjXBY #AVPN2030 #ClimateAction #Health #AsiaPacific #ClimateHealthNexus #Sustainability Ayu Ariyanti Bhawani Maurya Health Innovation Exchange - HIEx Bayer Foundation Malaria No More Forecasting Healthy Futures

“No climate adaptation for farmers means no food.”   🌾 From soil preservation to cultivating drought-resilient crops, farmers are working in many ways to ensure food security for us all.   We spoke to Esther Penunia of the Asian Farmers' Association for Sustainable Rural Development (AFA), about the crucial role of family farmers in adapting to our changing climate. 👩🌾👨🌾💚

Our own Dr. Kaushik Sarkar recently facilitated a workshop at the 2024 Sustainability Research & Innovation Congress titled, “AI-based Decision Support and Early Warning Systems to Strengthen Health Adaptation and Response to Climate Change: From Ideation to Implementation.” This session brought together diverse voices to learn about existing tools and engage in an on-site boot camp, rolling up our sleeves to tackle the practicalities of developing and implementing advanced early warning systems and thereby promoting a culture of data-centric decision-making to respond to climate-driven health threats. 🔹 Learn more in this new Medium article: https://lnkd.in/gg36Wmd9 #SRISSD2024 #ClimateHealth #EWS #DataInnovations #AI
