- The framework addresses climate-related health risks, including heatwaves, vector-borne diseases, and disruption of food and water systems.
- BHAP is part of the COP30 Action Agenda, Objective 16, promoting resilient health systems.
- Health impacts of climate change have accelerated, potentially causing 14.5–15.6 million deaths by 2050 (World Bank).
- Global climate adaptation finance for health is limited, with only 0.5–4% of funds allocated to health.
- BHAP has been endorsed by over 80 countries and institutions, mostly civil society and UN agencies.
