Focusing on Objective 16, promoting resilient health services, COP30 Health Day will convene a Ministerial Health Plenary on 13 November from 9:00AM-12:00PM in the Tocantins Plenary (Plenary 2), Blue Zone.
On this occasion, Brazil will officially launch the Belém Health Action Plan for the Adaptation of the Health Sector to Climate Change, developed through extensive international consultations and the result of collective efforts aimed at ensuring that health occupies a central place on the climate agenda. The Plan is founded on the principles of equity, climate justice, and participatory governance, with the purpose of accelerating the implementation of climate-health solutions. To this end, it provides glossaries of best practices in adaptation, guidance on access to means of implementation, and recommendations for strengthening health governance with broad social participation.
