Presentations: Marrakesh Conference on Climate and Health

On November 14, Health Care Without Harm and Global Green and Healthy Hospitals (GGHH) member, the Mohammed VI University Hospital hosted the Climate and Health Care Conference in parallel to COP22 in Marrakech, Morocco. The event brought together health sector leaders from around Morocco, Europe, and beyond to share strategies for the health sector to mitigate its own climate impacts, develop low carbon models of care, and use their voice, both individually and collectively, to advocate for policies to address climate change and public health.
We are pleased to make the presentations from the conference available to the public to download and learn from as you work to develop low-carbon, sustainable health care at facilities around the globe.
