Join the U.S. National Academy of Medicine (NAM) 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.
Day 1: April 29, 2025 | 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM EDT
Day 2: April 30, 2025 | 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM EDT
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.

- Establishing a Systems Approach to Climate Action Anchored in Health
- Opportunities & Challenges for Transformative Health-Centered Climate Action Across High-Emitting Sectors
- Learning from Cross-Sector Efforts & Imagining Future Possibilities
- Positioning Health as a Bridge Between Sectors
About the Roadmap: Led by the NAM, the Roadmap for Transformative Action to Achieve Health for All at Net-Zero Emissions is a global initiative to place health at the center of climate action. By convening cross-sector leaders and leveraging evidence-based solutions, the Roadmap aims to drive transformative systems change that simultaneously reduces emissions, enhances climate resilience, and strengthens the foundations of human health and well-being.
