The 27th United Nations climate change conference (COP27), held in Sharm-el-Sheikh, Egypt, hosted representatives from nearly 200 countries for 12 days of events and negotiations.

During COP27, Seed Global Health CEO Dr. Vanessa Kerry gave voice to the critical issues straining already-taxed global health systems in the face of fast-advancing climate change.
