Key dates for health: 11–12 November

The Paris Agreement, adopted on 12 December 2015, marked the beginning of a new era in the global response to climate change. The world now has a global climate treaty that is becoming a public health treaty as countries take action. “The right to health”, acknowledged in the Paris Agreement, is central to the actions that are to be taken.

At this year’s COP, health will be a key theme. Among cross-sectoral events which will feature health throughout the conference, there will be a high-level event addressing “Health Actions for the Implementation of the Paris Agreement” on 12 November 2017.
