About
The climate crisis is among the greatest health challenges facing the world today. As temperatures rise and weather patterns shift, water- and vector-borne diseases are spreading further and faster, fueling outbreaks and straining health infrastructure and workforces. Climate change threatens to undo decades of progress in global health—and the world’s ability to achieve health for all.
The 2023 Reaching the Last Mile Forum will galvanize new momentum, innovation, and investment towards solving the climate-health challenges faced by last-mile communities. Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, and in collaboration with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the forum will convene global, frontline, and community leaders in support of advancing resilient health systems that leave no one behind.

Following the morning plenary, countries, partners, and donors will unite to announce transformative commitments and pledges in support of last-mile health and disease elimination efforts, reflecting COP28’s call to unite, act, and forge a healthier and more resilient future together.
