The Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) has hosted a training workshop on climate change and health vulnerability, in collaboration with the World Health Organization's (WHO) Regional Office and other government agencies in the UAE.

 The workshop, which was held in Dubai, focused on the mechanisms and procedures required to assess the health impacts of air pollution, providing an invaluable learning environment for attendees. Participants took part in several group exercises, aiming to measure and assess the vulnerability of health to climate change, evaluate current response and adaptation strategies within the health sector, and formulate a health national adaptation plan in cooperation with the World Health Organization.

As an interactive platform, the workshop provided an opportunity for participants to deepen their understanding of the health implications of climate change, identify effective adaptation measures, and develop appropriate capacities. For more information, please visit: https://mohap.gov.ae/en/media-center/news/18/7/2023/mohap-organizes-workshop-on-climate-change-health-vulnerability-and-adaptation-assessment
