We’re excited to announce the release of our 2024 Global Health Impact Report! Considering the increasing effects of the climate crisis and the disproportionate consequences of climate change on the world’s most vulnerable, this year’s report places an emphasis on climate data and considers the challenges and opportunities of measuring impact at the climate and health nexus.
CanWaCH was pleased to participate in the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI)’s 2024 Members’ Assembly and Community Exchange from April 23 to 26.
Joining the IATI community in Bogotá, Colombia, CanWaCH’s Director of Global Health Impact, Jessica Ferne spoke on the ‘Unlocking innovation: IATI data for climate finance with a gender lens’ panel, focusing on the disproportionate impact of the climate crisis on the health and rights of vulnerable communities. Alongside calls for more transparency and dismantling of silos across the humanitarian and development nexus, she encouraged the IATI community to place a strong priority on unpacking the why – not only the what – of our data transparency efforts.

The 2024 Global Health Impact Summit took place on May 13. This year’s theme was “Rising tides: Measuring climate impacts on the health and rights of communities in crisis”. To foster an intimate learning environment, and given its peer learning approach, the event saw only those involved in presentations in attendance. Attendees explored the tools, methodologies and indicators required to effectively measure the multifaceted impacts of climate-related challenges, considering the health and rights of communities in crisis.
The new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) progress report shows that about 84% of the SDG targets show limited progress or a decline in progress. Targets related to food systems, biodiversity and sustainable land use are particularly off track. As we mark World Environment Day and the 30th anniversary of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification this June, it has become increasingly clear that to move the needle in global health, we cannot ignore the effects of the climate crisis.
Explore climate conscious approaches to measurement that lead to more equitable and effective responses to the climate crisis in our flagship report.
