Climate and health: a path to strategic co-financing?

Leveraging the co-benefits of investments in health and climate can be best achieved by moving away from isolated financing approaches and adopting co-financing strategies, which aim to improve the outcomes of both sectors. We propose a framework for studying co-financing for health and climate that considers the degree of integration between sector funding, and whether arrangements are 'passive', when cross-sectoral goals are indirectly affected, or 'strategic', when they are pre-emptively supported to build resilience and sustainability. We conducted a rigorous, evidence-focused review to describe co-financing mechanisms according to a framework, including the context in which they have been employed, and to identify enablers and barriers to implementation.

Financing for equity for women's, children's and adolescents' health in low- and middle-income countries: A scoping review.

Over the past few decades, the world has witnessed considerable progress in women's, children's and adolescents' health (WCAH) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Yet deep inequities remain between and within countries. This scoping review aims to map financing interventions and measures to improve equity in WCAH in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Opportunities and challenges for financing women's, children's and adolescents' health in the context of climate change.

Women, children and adolescents (WCA), especially in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), will bear the worst consequences of climate change during their lifetimes, despite contributing the least to global greenhouse gas emissions. Investing in WCA can address these inequities in climate risk, as well as generating large health, economic, social and environmental gains. However, women's, children's and adolescents' health (WCAH) is currently not mainstreamed in climate policies and financing.
