We’re excited to share the second edition of the Healthy and Climate-Resilient Cities report, co-authored with the Norman Foster Foundation and C40 Cities. The report explores what's needed for city leaders to prioritise health in urban design, and why this can help reduce emissions, improve resilience to climate change and provide substantial health benefits to urban populations. Through our role as the exclusive health partner of the Norman Foster Institute's Programme on Sustainable Cities, we're committed to continuing to drive cross-sector collaboration on this agenda and incorporating learnings into our Bupa Healthy Cities programme. Check out the full white paper here. https://lnkd.in/eBYZE3tB #HealthyCities #Bupa #Sustainability
