🌿 World Environment Day
Protecting the environment is key to promoting health, livelihoods, and development. AFIDEP’s work addresses environmental challenges through evidence-informed approaches that integrate population dynamics, public health, and the environment.
Through our work on
#Planetary #Health, we have contributed to research that demonstrates how climate change intensifies health risks—increased disease burdens linked to changing weather patterns; food insecurity from declining agricultural productivity that impacts on disease prevention, and more. This evidence, for instance, is now shaping Kenya’s Climate Change and Health Strategy (KCCHS), which seeks to provide the country with an effective plan to address climate change and health in the medium to long term.

On this World Environment Day, we reaffirm our call for climate-resilient policies that safeguard human and planetary health for generations to come.
