HCN’s objectives
The HCN aims to:

- Raise the urgency of global climate action by showing that many climate solutions can save lives and promote health benefits for all.
- Encourage joint actions by decision makers and stakeholders working on global climate change, energy transition, transport and mobility, food systems and health care towards a common goal of a healthy, climate safe future.
- Have decision makers at COP27 to recognise health as a core negotiating theme and ensuring mitigation and adaptation outcomes maximise the co-benefits for health.
