World Health Organisation Tender

Background Every Five Years, Countries Make Commitments To The Unfccc Covering Adaptation And Mitigation Policies And Actions (known As Nationally Determined Contributions, Or Ndcs, And Long-term Low Emission Development Strategies, Or Lt-leds) To Match Their Commitments To The Paris Agreement. Public Health Considerations Are Already Included In Most Ndcs But Insufficient, Primarily Due To The Lack Of Understanding Of The Direct And Indirect Links Between Climate Change Impacts And The Mitigation Measures On Health. As Of December 2019, 70% Of Ndcs Submitted Included Health Considerations. However, The Health Co-benefits Of Climate Policies And Actions Are Rarely Reflected In Current Ndcs, Not To Mention The Lt-leds. When They Are Mentioned, They Are Rarely Quantified. Out Of The 18 Ndcs That Do Mention Health Co-benefits, Only Two Indicate They Will Quantify Or Monitor These Benefits To Inform Decision Making. Health Co-benefits (and Co-harms) Need To Be Fully Considered, Measured, Quantified, And Incorporated Into Cost-benefit Modeling For Optimal And More Ambitious Climate Policy Making In Each Country.  Numerous Models And Tools To Quantify Social And Economic, Including Health And Well-being Co-benefits From Climate Mitigation Policies And Actions Exist (for Example The Carbon Reduction Benefits On Health, Or Carbonh).  This Proposal Is To Develop A Practical Communications Toolkit For Member States To Use To Advocate For These Co-benefits And Quantifying Tools.
