Topic B: Developing measures to confront the local effects of climate change on global health.
Confronting the local effects of climate change on global health is a pressing challenge
intensify, the need to develop effective measures becomes paramount. Addressing the
intersection of climate change and public health requires collaborative efforts to mitigate risks,
adapt healthcare systems, and enhance community resilience. Delegates must deliberate on
comprehensive solutions that prioritize the health and well-being of populations globally,
recognizing the interconnectedness of climate change and its profound implications on global
health security.
The escalating impacts of climate change are significantly affecting Poland, with
observable increases in heatwaves, droughts, and floods. Despite having adaptation plans in
