focusing on "Policy lessons from cross-sectoral global case studies 
tackling climate change effects on health. 
<https://sricongress.org/sri-ssd2024-program/>" This interactive 
roundtable will take place on Monday, 10 June, from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM 
(GMT+3) at Aalto University's Undergraduate Centre, Room Y313 and will 
also be available in a hybrid format.

      Session Highlights:

Climate change poses significant threats not only to our environment but 
also to human health, affecting essential resources like food, water and 
air. This session aims to enhance understanding of how multi-sectoral, 
systems-based studies and policies can address these interconnected 
challenges.


      Key Details:

Date and Time: Monday, June 10th, 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM
Location: Aalto University | Undergraduate Centre | Otakaari 1 | Y313 
(HYBRID)

      Description:

During this session, participants will explore the profound impacts of 
climate change on health and learn from a comprehensive panel of diverse 
case studies compiled by IAP in collaboration with Save the Children 
<https://www.savethechildren.net/>. These case studies, which were 
discussed at a workshop in Trieste, Italy, in September 2023, cover four 
priority areas:

  * Food Systems and Agriculture
  * Energy: Production, Distribution, Access, Efficiency
  * Urbanization and Urban Planning
  * Health Systems Strengthening

Special attention is given to underserved groups, including children and 
women, highlighting the importance of a systems-approach in research and 
policy-making. The findings and policy recommendations from these case 
studies were presented at COP28 
<https://www.interacademies.org/news/climate-and-health-iap-cop28>, 
emphasizing the global urgency to address the health co-benefits of 
climate action.

      Special Announcement:

In this occasion, The InterAcademy Partnership (IAP) and Save the 
Children will be thrilled to announce the launch of a landmark 
publication, Climate and Health: Science-based Policy Solutions. This 
new book presents a collection of 14 meticulously curated case studies 
that illuminate the intricate connections between climate change and 
health, offering science-based solutions for policymakers worldwide. 
This publication, a collaborative effort by IAP and Save the Children, 
encapsulates the essence of our project, which began in 2019 and has 
since gained significant traction in international policy discussions, 
including contributions to the UN Secretary General’s 2021 Food Systems 
Summit.
