Alongside the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly, Last Mile Health hosted a side event, “Community health workers at the forefront of climate adaptation,” in partnership with Macquarie Group Foundation and Johnson & Johnson. Strong, integrated community health programs are an essential tool to help vulnerable communities adapt to the health impacts of a changing climate. The side event featured stories from professional community health workers as well as reflections and discussion from health systems leaders on how best to equip community health workers to respond to the health impacts of a changing climate.
