Poland — The second Global Climate and Health Summit "An Inter-sectoral Road-Map to 2015" will be held on November 16, 2013 from 9:00-17:00 at the Warsaw Marriott Hotel in parallel with the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change's 19th Conference of the Parties (COP19) negotiations in Poland.

The Summit aims to bring together key health sector actors to discuss the impacts of climate change on public health and solutions that promote greater health, as well as economic equity between and within nations. The event will also coordinate action across all sectors to protect human health from the impacts of climate change and will build a road-map for the international health community to work towards in the run up to the 2015 climate negotiations in Paris.

It will draw on the 2011 Durban Health Sector Call to Action and will be used to determine areas for collaboration in the future.
