ACCESS Health International has taken a step towards a sustainable & healthier future by signing the SACH pledge, part of the Sustainable Action for Climate and Health Initiative by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), PATH and Centre for Health Research and Innovation (CHRI). This initiative will bring together policymakers, urban bodies, the private sector, healthcare chains, development organizations, donors, philanthropies, community-based organizations, and innovators to promote cross-sectoral collaboration and improve climate and health outcomes.
Dr Uma Aysola, Director, Communication, Relations, and Partnerships represented ACCESS Health International at an event in New Delhi on the 17th of November 2023 where the pledge was formally signed. Together, the signees of the pledge bring together their collective abilities to champion the climate and health agenda.
The pledge is a key component of the Sustainable Action for Climate and Health Initiative, designed to encourage private sector participation in raising awareness and committing resources to advance sustainable and healthy practices. This pledge will support and drive action by equipping private-sector corporations with resources and training to implement sustainable and health-focused practices.
