The World Health Organization and the Kingdom of the Netherlands have renewed their strategic partnership to address the global health impacts of climate change [1]. As part of this renewed commitment, the Netherlands is providing EUR 500,000 in new funding to WHO for 2024, directed toward strengthening climate resilience and building sustainable health systems [1]. This continuation of the partnership, which was initially established in 2023, brings the Netherlands' total support for WHO's climate change and health initiatives to over EUR 1.1 million since that time [1].
The renewed partnership builds on collaborative efforts already underway in Africa, Asia, and the Eastern Mediterranean region, where both parties have worked together to establish climate and health monitoring and early warning systems [1]. The Netherlands and Peru jointly led the passage of an updated resolution on climate change and health at the 77th World Health Assembly in 2024, refreshing guidance from a 2008 resolution [1]. According to WHO estimates, collaboration with member states and partners under the new strategic framework is projected to save 7.5 million lives over the next four years [1].
The partnership aligns with the Netherlands' Global Health Strategy for 2023-2030, which emphasizes the intersection of climate change and health [1]. As the international community prepares for COP29, set to take place in Azerbaijan in 2024, climate change and health are expected to remain central to global discussions [1].
