Frontline AIDS 288d ago

This webinar explores the impact of climate change on vulnerable groups, especially people living with HIV in Southern Africa, highlighting the unique vulnerabilities they face and the critical role of communities in building resilience and delivering effective responses. Climate shocks—such as droughts, floods, and cyclones—amplify inequalities, leaving people living with HIV among the most affected but often overlooked or not prioritized in the humanitarian responses, including in displacement settings. We explore how communities, humanitarian systems, and development actors can collaborate to ensure no one is left behind in the face of the dual challenges of HIV and climate change.
