Description

This event will bring together academics, government representatives, and international institutions to discuss how climate change is shaping health outcomes across cities in Africa. It will also discuss how African cities can leverage system thinking to integrate health and climate policies, ensuring that urban development not only mitigates climate risks but also promotes healthier living environments.
