The World Health Organization (WHO) today publishes its advocacy, communications and partnerships plan “WHO at the heart of the health response to climate change, air pollution and energy poverty (2025–2028), translating the mandate set by Member States at the Seventy-eighth World Health Assembly into a coordinated programme of action to position health at the center of global climate, clean air and energy agendas. 

In May 2025, Member States adopted the Global Action Plan (GAP) on Climate Change and Health (2025–2028), in response to resolution WHA77.14 and the updated roadmap on air pollution and health (EB156/24) in response to resolution on addressing the health impact of air pollution (WHA68/18).

The new advocacy, communications and partnerships plan operationalises that mandate, ensuring the political commitments made by Member States are matched by practical strategies to build momentum, unite stakeholders and deliver lasting health and climate benefits.
