WHO is now a Green Climate Fund accredited entity
世卫组织正式成为绿色气候基金认可的实体
The World Health Organization (WHO) has today received accreditation by the Green Climate Fund (GCF), a fund for climate finance that was established within the framework of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The accreditation will unlock new funding to protect communities worldwide from the health impacts of climate change.
世界卫生组织(世卫组织)今日获得绿色气候基金(GCF)的认证。绿色气候基金是在《联合国气候变化框架公约》框架下设立的气候融资基金。此次认证将为保护全球社区免受气候变化健康影响的工作释放新的资金渠道。
"Climate and health action saves lives," said Dr Ruediger Krech, Director of the department of Environment, Climate Change, One Health and Migration at WHO, "Climate financing will ensure that the health sector is prepared to meet the demands of the climate crisis without contributing further emissions to climate change."
世卫组织环境、气候变化、同一健康与移民司司长鲁迪格·克雷奇博士表示:“气候与健康行动能够挽救生命。气候融资将确保卫生部门做好准备,既能应对气候危机带来的需求,又不会进一步增加温室气体排放。”
This landmark decision is the result of extensive preparations including high-level exchanges between the Director General of WHO and the Executive Director of the GCF.
这一具有里程碑意义的决定,得益于世卫组织总干事与绿色气候基金执行主任之间的高层交流等大量前期筹备工作。
WHO has over 25 years of climate and health policy and technical leadership, and over 15 years of implementing climate and health programmes in over 30 countries. Extensive country presence and partnerships with ministries of health and governmental agencies position WHO as a vital partner in addressing global climate and health challenges. The combined strength of WHO and GCF will lead to direct climate and health programmes and the development of health-promoting interventions at the country level by leveraging a network of health ministries and key partners.
世卫组织在气候与健康政策及技术领导方面拥有逾25年的经验,并在30多个国家实施气候与健康项目超过15年。广泛的国别存在以及与各国卫生部和政府机构的伙伴关系,使世卫组织成为应对全球气候与健康的重要合作伙伴,在国家层面直接推动气候与健康项目,并制定促进健康的干预措施。
WHO will support projects by facilitating technical partnerships, providing implementation toolkits, coordinating peer reviews and monitoring processes to ensure quality and scalability. The WHO-hosted Alliance for Transformative Action on Climate and Health (ATACH), launched in 2022, will play a critical role, including identifying co-financing for any potential investments by GCF through its network of over 200 country and partner members.
世卫组织将通过促进技术伙伴关系、提供实施工具包、协调同行评审和监测流程,为项目提供支持,以确保质量和可推广性。由世卫组织牵头发起的“气候与健康变革行动联盟”(ATACH)于2022年启动,将发挥关键作用,包括通过其由200多个国家和伙伴成员组成的网络,为绿色气候基金的潜在投资确定共同融资机会。
There has been remarkable progress in global climate-health action since WHO’s application to the GCF in 2015. Responding to climate change was made the priority objective in WHO’s Fourteenth General Programme of Work (GPW14) for 2025-2028. In 2024 a Resolution on Climate Change and Health was adopted at the Seventh-seventh World Health Assembly and health has become a consistent focus at recent UN Climate Change Conferences (COPs), which have included dedicated Health Days and the adoption of the Belém Health Action Plan at COP30 in Brazil.
自世卫组织2015年向绿色气候基金提交申请以来,全球气候与健康行动取得了显著进展。应对气候变化已被列为世卫组织《第十四个工作总规划(2025-2028年)》的优先目标。2024年,第七十七届世界卫生大会通过了《气候变化与健康决议》,而健康议题在近几届联合国气候变化大会(COP)上始终是核心议题之一,大会专门设立了“健康日”,并在巴西COP30上通过了《贝伦健康行动计划》。
“Climate financing is crucial to tackling the climate-health crisis,” said Dr Diarmid Campbell-Lendrum, Head of Climate Change, Air Quality, Energy and Health at WHO, “WHO will use this opportunity to ensure low- and middle-income countries have access to the resources needed to build climate-resilient and sustainable low-carbon health systems.”
世卫组织气候变化、空气质量、能源与健康处处长迪尔米德·坎贝尔·兰德鲁姆博士表示:“气候融资对于应对气候与健康危机至关重要。世卫组织将借此机会,确保中低收入国家能够获得所需资源,建设具有气候韧性的可持续低碳卫生系统。”
The impact of climate change on humanity is well established, with the recognition of health impacts of climate change growing in the international community. Health is identified as a priority in 91% of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), national climate action plans by each country under the Paris Agreement, but only a few NDCs specify actions to maximize health benefits from climate adaptation and/or mitigation.
气候变化对人类的影响已是不争的事实,国际社会对气候变化健康的人知也在不断加深。在91%的国家自主贡献(NDCs,即《巴黎协定》下各国制定的国家气候行动计划)中,健康被列为优先事项,但仅有少数国家自主贡献明确提出了在气候适应和/或减缓行动中最大化健康效益的具体措施。
According to estimates, just 2% of adaptation funding and only 0.5% of multilateral climate funding go to health, leaving the health sector with the greatest unmet demand. WHO aims to address these needs for climate finance support and empower national health ministries to develop climate-resilient health systems, reduce emissions and bolster climate-health action across sectors.
据估计,仅有2%的气候适应资金和0.5%的多边气候资金流向卫生流域,卫生部门因此成为资金缺口最大的领域。世卫组织致力于满足这些气候融资支持需求,并赋权各国卫生部建设具有气候韧性的卫生系统、减少排放,以及加强跨部门气候与健康行动。
WHO’s accreditation to the GCF catalyses a paradigm shift by embedding health resilience and health equity into climate finance, thereby transforming how climate adaptation and mitigation are designed, implemented, and evaluated. WHO’s leadership in global health, combined with its operational capacity and normative authority, positions it to oversee and supervise impactful, multisectoral projects.
世卫组织获得绿色气候基金认证,将健康韧性与健康公平深度融入气候融资,从而推动气候适应与减缓项目的设计、实施与评估方式发生范式转变。世卫组织在全球卫生领域的领导地位,加上其强大的业务执行力和规范制定权威,使其有能力监督和指导具有深远影响的多部门项目。
