Speaking against the backdrop of global leaders and climate advocates, COP28 President-Designate Dr Sultan Al Jaber emphasised the vital link between climate change and health, declaring, "The connection between health and climate change is evident, yet it has not been a specific focus of the COP process - until now. This must change."
