Resilient Cities, Reimagining Health: Making the Case for Prevention

Thursday, September 25, 2025 | 2:30 – 3:45 p.m. ET
The Yale Club, 50 Vanderbilt Ave, New York, NY 10017

As a part of the Yale @ Climate Week NYC program, this event will describe a global initiative to support and scale up action on city-led preventative approaches to improve health, support systems resilience, and decarbonize care. Building on a global collaboration between the Sustainable Markets Initiative, Resilient Cities Network, Yale University, and Mode Economics, a report entitled Resilient Cities, Reimagining Health: Making the Case for Prevention will be released. Through structured review and economic analysis, this report will demonstrate the need for place-based, climate-sensitive, preventative health approaches. It includes quantitative evidence on how climate will impact public health needs; key interventions to improve health, reduce costs and emissions, build equity, and resilience; and a high-level framework for successful, city-led implementation.
