Health Events at COP26
The global health community is driving transformational change to protect the health of people and the planet.
WHO and its partners hosted an extensive series of events at the COP26 UN climate conference, in order to ensure health and equity are placed at the center of the climate negotiations.
Key events included the 2021 Global Conference on Health and Climate Change on November 6, which convened health leaders from around the world on the sideline of COP26, and the announcement of country commitments under the COP26 Health Programme on November 9.

COP26 Health Pavilion
For the first time, WHO hosted the COP26 Health Pavilion. The Pavilion offered a rich 2-week programme of over 60 events, showcasing evidence, initiatives and solutions to maximize the health benefits of tackling climate change across regions, sectors and communities. Most side events were live-streamed, and the recordings can be re-watched here.
