MSF and the Lancet Countdown joint brief 2025
The Launch of the 2025 MSF-Lancet Countdown Joint Brief
We are pleased to announce that Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has contributed 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 highlights 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.
The 2025 Joint Brief focuses on three important themes:
- Single-use plastics in healthcare delivery
- Extreme heat and early warning systems
- WASH, supply chains, and health infrastructure
Read the brief to explore the findings in more detail, and learn how health and humanitarian actors can respond to the accelerating impacts of climate change.
