WHO-IUCN Expert Working Group (EWG)

The WHO-IUCN Expert Working Group on Biodiversity, Climate, One Health and Nature-based Solutions will develop guidance and tools to support the operationalization of One Health approaches and Nature-based Solutions by: (1) identifying co-benefits and trade-offs for human and ecosystem health, (2) strengthening social and ecological resilience and (3) supporting a healthy, green and just recovery from COVID-19. The EWG will aim to catalyze health sector leadership, while ensuring cross-sectoral policy alignment, coordination and coherence across international policy processes. It will focus on embedding ecosystem health, biodiversity and climate change in One Health policies, plans and projects, and driving knowledge exchange on the environmental and social determinants of health. The group will also seek to systematically integrate health co-benefits in the development, design and implementation of Nature-based Solutions to climate change.

Interagency Crosscutting Group on Climate Change and Human Health (CCHHG)

The Interagency Crosscutting Group on Climate Change and Human Health (CCHHG) coordinates, implements, evaluates, and communicates federal research and scientific activities related to the human health impacts of global climate change. With health recently identified as one of USGCRP’s Focus Areas, the CCHHG works to address key gaps related to human health aspects of global change. CCHHG develops data-driven scientific products, such as tools, indicators, and assessments, including the 2016 Impacts of Climate Change on Human Health: A Scientific Assessment. The group also facilitates multi-directional communication among relevant stakeholders to help provide end-user input into federal research efforts. In addition to its U.S.-focused activities, the CCHHG supports USGCRP and its member agencies, including the U.S. Department of State and USAID, by bringing health expertise to international negotiations, collaborative projects, and capacity-building activities.
