Join a powerful, unprecedented alliance for better eye health for all.
Join IAPBTackling issues around environmental sustainability.
The Climate Action Work Group work group are tackling issues around environmental sustainability, one of the biggest global health priorities.
In terms of eye health, communities which are most susceptible to environmental degradation, tend to carry some of the highest rates of avoidable and permanent blindness. Past President of IAPB, Dr Hannah Faal has emphasised the importance of members’ engagement in environmental sustainability, due to its strong connections with both global and planetary health.
The group is working on these eight key areas:
The Work Group will meet by teleconference at least twice a year, or face to face where possible. Opportunities for face-to-face meetings, where possible, will be sought around other events that may already see the attendance of the Work Group members.
Membership of the Climate Action Work Group is open to all IAPB members engaged in climate action.
All Work Group members are expected to actively contribute their expertise and knowledge to ensure the group meets its stated objectives.
