‘We can’t say: Young people will solve climate change. They can’t solve everything - although in the past, they often have.’ - @SandroDemaio at #WHA78 GHF side event on CCH adaptation. • Addition: If you’re looking to us for hope, please grant us equal policy spaces! @IFMSA

🌍💨 Air pollution is a silent killer—it's time to act! At #EB156, #IFMSA urges leaders to prioritize equity, strengthen air quality monitoring, invest in clean energy, & foster collaboration. Because clean air isn’t just an environmental issue—it’s a human right! #HealthForAll

#GenderEquality is a human right, not just women’s fight. #StandUp4HumanRights and see how @UNFPA—the @UN sexual and reproductive health agency—is advocating for women and girls around the world: unf.pa/equality #GlobalGoals

"I can officially report that we have just endured a decade of deadly heat. In 2025, countries must put the world on a safer path by dramatically slashing emissions, & supporting the transition to a renewable future" @antonioguterres' message for the New Year #ClimateAction

Gisèle Pelicot: Thank you for helping shame change sides, for showing that shame was never yours, or rape survivors, to bear. Our Office stands with all survivors of rape in their fight for justice. Rape is a violation of human rights. Justice begins when we stop blaming women and start confronting the real problem. Those who commit violence, those who enable it, and those who stay silent in its face.

Despite a nearly all-male lineup of Heads of State at #COP29 opening, make no mistake—women are driving ambition and #ClimateAction at every level across the 🌍 Delighted to join Ministers & female leaders at #COP29. Thanks to @ABaerbock & @MarinaSilva for bringing us together.

Education needs to be accessible to everyone and comprehensive aspects of systematic justice - especially incl. climate and health - must also be covered by compulsory education!

At the @COP29_AZ Presidency event on ‘The Critical Role of Youth and Educators’, Youssef Nassef, Adaptation Director at UNFCCC, highlights that: ‘The type of change needed has to be instilled in our education systems - in the way we think about nature.’ #Youth4Climate @IFMSA

Following today’s theme of ‘Human Development’ incl. Health at COP29, the IFMSA Delegation led an advocacy action to urge negotiators to include #health in every #climate discussion and to demand #youth being involved meaningfully in every step of climate action! #Youth4Climate

Join the Movement: Youth Advocating for Health in Climate Action! 🌍🌱 📅 18th of November 2024 🕒 12:00 - 12:30 AZT | 8:00 - 8:30 GMT 📍 Blue Zone, near the entrance of the Pavilions hallway #COP29 #IFMSAatCOP29 #YouthForClimate #PledgeForPlanet

🌍 As discussions unfold at #COP29 in Baku, we’re thrilled to share @TheLancet Psychiatry's commentary on: "Why mental health should be embedded across climate and health discussions at COP29. " 📖 Read more here: bit.ly/4hW9b0z @UNFCCC @ClimateCares @GCHAlliance

Standing in Delhi's toxic smog as we also celebrate #HealthDay at #COP29, I’m breathing what millions endure daily. This is a health crisis, not just an environmental one. Climate negotiators: prioritize clean air & #ClimateAction NOW. Lives depend on your decisions.

Medical students from around the world showed up in a powerful way to demand urgent climate action @COP29_AZ. “Don’t burn our future!… Leave no one behind!.. The climate crisis is a health crisis!” @IFMSA #Youth4climate #Health4Climate

"This crisis is not in the future. It's right here, now ... There is no stronger argument for climate action than health". @DrTedros continues by highlighting both the current challenge which presents an urgent opportunity. #COP29

"Climate change kills and affects our health" @sanchezcastejon shares a strong reflection at the opening of the event 'The Health Argument for Climate Action' - underlining that actions for Climate and Health align and ambition is needed.

The second day of the #RC74CPH starts with the announcement of the re-election of Dr. Hans Kluge from Belgium. We want to congratulate dr. Kluge on his second term, and IFMSA looks forward to collaborate on improving health and increasing youth engagement in the region together!

"I am not ashamed to admit that being a youth advocate has an expiration date, however, beeing a champion of youth does not."

"It is not about youth becoming ministers and presidents, but it is about equipping young people with skills, and instill the trust in them to be a change agent in their communities." Let this be a clear call to all of us working in health.

"We also call for increased attention to the impact of climate change on health and vice versa during COP29 in Baku, and for active engagement with young people and health professionals on this topic." #Youth4Climate
