About the conference
Climate change has already impacted on human health and projections are alarming. From North to South, every country is concerned and has to adapt, particularly to protect the most vulnerable people.
On the occasion of the centenary of the foundation of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, France is organizing the first 'humanitarian COP' in order to update the scientific research and to present innovative solutions to take up the biggest public health challenge of the 21st century.
