The Common Position of Latin America and the Caribbean on Climate Change and Health is a landmark, region-wide declaration endorsed by over 50 original signatories, including health civil society, academia, governmental and humanitarian  organizations, youth organizations and more.

Developed through a participatory, multisectoral process, it outlines six strategic pillars: health protection, mitigation, adaptation, climate justice, leadership, and financing. Rooted in scientific evidence and local knowledge, equity considerations, and social determinants of health, the Position calls for bold, integrated climate action that puts people’s health at the center.

It aims to influence COP30 and beyond, offering a united regional voice and a replicable model for inclusive, rights-based climate governance that responds to the realities of vulnerable communities across LAC.
