- Promote forward-looking and evidence-informed discussions on climate and health;
- Highlight innovative practices, including local and Indigenous knowledge, youth-led initiatives, and technological solutions;
- Foster dialogue among governments, civil society, academia, multilateral organizations, and private sector actors;
- Generate inputs that contribute to the implementation of the Belém Health Action Plan;
- Feed into the health discussions at COP30 and future national and global climate-health strategies.
Selection Criteria
The Ideas Lab will prioritize proposals and presenters that bring pragmatic approaches, innovation, and alignment with the goals of the Global Conference. While participation will be by invitation, the selection process will follow clear, merit-based criteria to ensure transparency, diversity, and impact. The selection of Ideas Lab sessions will be guided by the following criteria:- Practical Relevance and Potential for Impact: Proposals should be grounded in real-world experiences or practices—ongoing or completed—and demonstrate potential to generate meaningful change in the climate-health nexus. We will welcome solutions informed by lived realities, adaptable models, and tested innovations.
- Regional and Institutional Diversity: Efforts will be made to ensure geographic balance and representation of diverse institutional actors—including voices from low- and middle-income countries, subnational governments, and underrepresented regions.
- Innovation and Transformative Potential: Sessions should introduce forward-looking solutions, emerging approaches, or replicable models that can support health system adaptation to climate change.
- Equity and Inclusion: Proposals that reflect gender equity, youth participation, Indigenous and traditional knowledge, or other forms of community leadership will be highly valued.
- Potential Contribution to COP30: Presentations that can directly inform the development of the health discussions for COP30 will receive particular attention.
