Join the National Academy of Medicine for the first of four information-gathering workshops to inform the Commission developing the Roadmap for Transformative Action to Achieve Health for All at Net-Zero Emissions. Spanning two days, this workshop will: 

• Reframe climate action through a health-focused lens, examining opportunities and challenges for leveraging health as a strategic anchor point to bridge diverse economic and geopolitical interests.

• Illustrate the need for systems transformation by identifying the global economic sectors driving climate change—including energy, transportation, agriculture, and manufacturing, among others—and exploring pathways to net-zero emissions that also maximize health co-benefits.

• Explore the economic, political, and social systems shaping sector-specific and cross-sector responses to climate change, and identify the policy, governance, and behavioral shifts required to align economic and sustainability goals with improved health outcomes.
