From June 5 to 15, 2023, Bonn, Germany, played host to the 58th sessions of the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice and the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SB58) under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The main focus of these sessions was to delve into discussions on loss and damage and the global stocktake, setting the stage for COP28 and beyond.
Health Care Without Harm's International Climate Director, Diana Picon Manyari, along with colleagues who were on the ground: Nova Tebbe, Ph.D. student specializing in Environment and Resources at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Jess Beagley, Policy Lead at the Global Climate and Health Alliance had a conversation to draw invaluable insights and shared their experiences in Bonn.
The confluence of SB58 presented an opportunity to bridge the gap between climate change and public health. As we approach COP28, this discussion serves as a compass, guiding us toward a healthy future for people and the planet. To gain an enriched perspective on these discussions, watch the video now.
