The Third Annual Meeting of Clim-Health Africa, Johannesburg 2015

The Third Annual Meeting of Clim-Health Africa, Johannesburg 2015

Clim-Health Africa, an international network of institutions working on climate change and health for Africa, was established in 2013. The network continues to serve as a virtual hub where expertise can be shared to develop the capacity of African communities, institutions, practitioners and negotiators to understand and integrate climate change and health related challenges into policy, socio-economics, planning and programming. The network’s first annual meeting was held in Johannesburg in 2013. At this event stakeholders revised and re-adjusted Clim-Health Africa's governance structure, agreed upon and finalized its terms of reference and modus operandi, and prepared its annual work plan. The second meeting held in Accra, Ghana in May 2014 continued to formalize network membership and develop a capacity building plan for the region.  For the first time, in 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) and its donors made it possible for 10 Ministries of Health and

WHO Country Offices, currently implementing climate and health projects, to participate in the Clim-Health meeting.  See the 2015 meeting report
