Tina Lines and Dr. Alison Krentel with members of the Global Cooperation Caucus (GCC)
Tina Lines, Advocacy and Policy Officer, and Dr. Alison Krentel, Chair of The Canadian Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases, were invited to meet with the all-party, non-partisan Global Cooperation Caucus (GCC) in Ottawa on Tuesday, October 22nd, along with other representatives, to raise awareness of the impact of climate change on vulnerable populations ahead of COP29.
The Canadian Network for NTDs raised awareness of the need to include health as part of Canada’s climate finance, the impact of climate change on NTDs and the health of vulnerable populations, and the need to focus on local health care capacities and multi-sectoral approaches that address the health and well-being of both people and the planet. Other speakers included Dr. Bruce Aylward from the World Health Organization, Danielle Kamtié, and Beth Lorimer from KAIROS Canada.
The GCC is supported by Results Canada and ONE Canada - thank you for making this meeting possible!
