The World Health Organization (WHO)’s flagship climate-health conference ‘International Conference on Climate and Health Innovation and Cooperation’, concluded last week (on 1 February) in Baoting Li and Miao Autonomous County, which marks a decisive shift from policy advocacy to implementation in China. The conference was organized by the WHO and co-hosted by the People’s Government of Baoting Li and Miao Autonomous County, Peking University Institute for Global Health, and Ningyuan Institute of Climate and Sustainable Development (Hainan), with academic support provided by Peking University Institute of Environmental Medicine.
By situating the meeting in a climate-vulnerable subtropical county – an island ecosystem facing biodiversity pressures and emerging-economy constraints – the WHO signals clearly: effective climate-health governance must be validated in “micro-laboratories” capable of replication in analogous contexts worldwide.
