Within the priority of the COP29 Presidency of “enhancing ambition” and “enabling action”, this event at the triple nexus of climate change, health and human mobility wants to highlight the critical importance of inclusive and well-informed decision-making processes to strengthen the adaptive capacity of health systems, accelerate finance and find innovative and safe solutions for human mobility. Clear governance and inclusive decision-making are prerequisites for turning ambition into action. The event aims to reflect upon experiences of decision-making processes that can leverage financing for climate action, health and human mobility and build bridges between different sectors and stakeholders to strengthen partnerships and investments in this field. Concrete outcomes of this session are to foster commitments to integrate human mobility in the deliberations of COP29 and to formulate concrete recommendations that world leaders can adopt to accelerate action on climate, health, and human mobility.
