Virtual Workshop
Join the U.S. National Academy of Medicine (NAM) for the second of four information-gathering workshops to inform the Commission developing the Roadmap for Transformative Action to Achieve Health for All at Net-Zero Emissions. Building on the insights from the first workshop, this workshop will explore how to activate the levers of systems transformation to drive health-centered climate action. Discussions will focus on the enabling conditions—across governance, policy, finance, technology, innovation, and behavior change—that can accelerate progress both within and across sectors. Participants will examine the roles of policy tools, economic incentives, communication strategies, and leadership in aligning efforts across sectors and systems with broader health and climate goals. By surfacing practical strategies and identifying persistent barriers, the workshop will contribute to a shared framework for action that promotes health, sustainability, and system-wide alignment.
About the Roadmap: Lead by the NAM, the Roadmap for Transformative Action to Achieve Health for All at Net-Zero Emissions is a global initiative to place health at the center of climate action. By convening cross-sector leaders and leveraging evidence-based solutions, the Roadmap aims to drive transformative systems change that simultaneously reduces emissions, enhances climate resilience, and strengthens the foundations of human health and well-being.
Call for Information: In addition to participant contributions during the workshop, the Commission invites leaders and collaborators across government, private industry, academia, civil society, and communities to submit concise, high-impact insights, information, and materials. We are particularly seeking:
- Emerging evidence (e.g., research findings, data analyses) that illuminate the links between climate action and health.
- Case studies of success demonstrating proven or promising approaches, policies, or technologies that advances health and climate action.
- Priority research questions identifying crucial knowledge gaps for future exploration.
- Best practices and practical learnings on effectively aligning economic, environmental, and health objectives.
- Initiatives or entities (coalitions, multilateral institutions, organizations, etc.) working to address climate change 1) by adopting a systems change approach or 2) while considering health impacts of strategies, interventions, policies, etc.
These submissions will inform the Commission’s development of the Roadmap for Transformative Action to Achieve Health for All at Net-Zero Emissions. Please send relevant materials to [email protected].
