MSF and the Lancet Countdown joint brief 2025
Register now: Launch of the 2025 MSF-Lancet Countdown Joint Brief
We are pleased to announce that Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) will contribute to the 2025 report of the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change with a dedicated Joint Brief.
Drawing on indicators from the Lancet Countdown 2025 report, the Joint Brief will highlight how climate change and environmental degradation are complicating the humanitarian response – while also examining how MSF can address the environmental challenges within its own operations.
Register now to join the launch event on 4 November 2025 at 12:00 (UK time).
This year’s Joint Brief and webinar will focus on three important themes:
- Single-use plastics in healthcare delivery
- Extreme heat and early warning systems
- WASH, supply chains, and health infrastructure
Join us for the launch to hear from the authors and contributors, explore the findings in more detail, and discuss how health and humanitarian actors can respond to the accelerating impacts of climate change.
