Tuesday 13 May - Global Health: Food Systems, Health Security, Climate, and Sustainability

Daily Partners: WHO Unit OneHealth Unit, Global health section

Daily message

The health of people and the planet are deeply interconnected. Climate change, food insecurity, and emerging health threats are putting increasing pressure on public health systems, requiring urgent and coordinated action. Sustainable food systems, resilient health security measures, and environmental policies that prioritize well-being are key to protecting both current and future generations.

How can we create food systems that support both human and planetary health? What steps can strengthen global health security in the face of pandemics and environmental crises? How can public health drive climate action and sustainability?  

Sub-themes

• Sustainable food systems for better health.
• Global health security and pandemic resilience.
• Climate change and its impact on public health.
• The role of public health in environmental action.
• Food security, nutrition, and well-being.
• Policies for a healthier, more sustainable future.
• Supply chains: food, drugs and crises.
• OneHealth, health equity and climate.
• Innovation in health and climate resilience.

By integrating health, sustainability, and security into our policies and actions, we can build a healthier and more resilient future for all.
