👏👏@YouthdelegateNL for stressing the impacts of climate change on young people #1point8 & calling for a resolution on health & climate at the next #WHA This is what meaningful youth engagement #MAYE looks like 🙌🙌 @PMNCH
This can be a strategic path: @COP28_UAE health day followed by a new @WHA77 climate change and health resolution. Thanks 🇳🇱 I am sure others will follow and support.
@IFMSA
@YouthdelegateNL announced that NL is in discussion with multiple member states and would like to propose drafting a WHA resolution on climate change and health! Hopefully, more countries will follow and express their support for this resolution #WHA76#ClimateEmergency
Bravo Netherlands 🇳🇱 @YouthdelegateNL@NLinGeneva ! There is a clear path through health day at #COP28UAE to bring a strong climate and health resolution back to #WHA77 next year.
"climate change not only exacerbates #global inequalities, the inequity is interwoven in the fabric of our societies" @YouthdelegateNL acknowledging the unequal burden of the climate crisis, caused by the existing global #inequities and our #colonial past #WHA76#YPWHA23
IFMSA supports the call for a #resolution on #climate_change and health as a crucial tool to respond to the health threats of climate change and to maximize the health co-benefits. We hope other member states soon join this process and include the voice of #youth in the drafting
"The climate is changing. So why aren't we? The time to act is now" @YouthdelegateNL warning for the disastrious health effects of climate change and calling on WHA and member states to adopt a new resolution on climate and health next year #WHA76#climateishealth
