In a keynote address at the Human Rights Council panel
discussion on climate change and the right to health in Geneva last week, Chan
said WHO would host a second global conference on health and climate this year,
hopefully in July.
She also said the WHO and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change would jointly roll out climate and health profiles for
individual countries (this will be one to watch, given that we are attracting
headlines in the New York Times like, “Australia turns its back on climate
science”).

story - “When will the Federal Health Department address “the defining issue for public health”?”
