Climate change has become an everyday health issue.

Heat waves, floods, and power outages are transforming how people live, work, and access healthcare, and the costs fall hardest on those with the least protection.

As COP30 progresses, Angela Chaudhuri's latest article allows us to explore how cities are responding with something surprisingly simple: a dedicated Climate and Health budget line.

Planning for people’s health as a priority, rather than just reacting to crises once they occur. Ahmedabad is saving thousands of lives with minimal investment. Jakarta and New York are redesigning their budgets from a health perspective. Meanwhile, Bangladesh is building trust by showing communities where support will be provided before the heat arrives.

These examples demonstrate that climate and health planning is a synergy between infrastructure, governance, transparency and, of course, the budget allocation.

The Nordic Development Fund (NDF) has approved a EUR 10 million grant for a climate resilience project in African Zambia. The grant will support the EUR 120 million ‘Transforming Landscapes for Resilience and Development II’ project (TRALARD II), led by the World Bank, according to a NDF press release.

Zambia, a landlocked country in Southern Africa, faces some of the highest deforestation and land degradation rates on the continent. Charcoal production, poor farming practices, wildfires, and illegal logging drive the destruction. Over 60% of Zambia’s population lives below the poverty line, with rural communities particularly vulnerable to climate impacts, while depending heavily on rainfed farming and natural resource extraction, leaving them exposed when weather patterns change.

TRALARD II aims to improve natural resource management and to boost food security and watershed protection. The activities will focus on creating jobs in agriculture and forestry while strengthening community participation, with women, youth, and people with disabilities being the main target for empowerment programs.

“In Zambia, this project not only protects the natural resources and the people depending on it, but also fosters social inclusion and gender equality,” said Ole Stubdrup, Program Manager at NDF.

NDF’s EUR 10 million grant is part of EUR 120 million in total funding for the project. The Nordic Development Fund – a joint Nordic international finance institution (IFI) with a EUR 350 million capital, is focusing on the nexus between climate change and development in lower-income countries, and countries in fragile situations focuses on lower-income countries and areas facing conflict or instability.

In many cases, we respond to challenges by addressing what’s visible , the urgent issue right in front of us.

But lasting change requires something deeper.
Systems thinking helps us shift from short-term fixes to long-term transformation.

It’s about identifying root causes, mapping patterns of injustice, and reimagining the systems that shape our world.

This perspective, shared by Tam Nguyen during our Catalyst Now learning series, reminds us that systems change doesn’t start with action , it starts with understanding.

Not everything that counts can be counted

Across the world, communities are being asked to prove their impact using tools that were never designed with them in mind

In her latest article “Decolonizing Impact Measurement” , Rana Dajani challenges this mindset and offers a powerful vision rooted in trust, identity, and lived experience

At Catalyst Now, we’re amplifying the voices rethinking how systems work and who they work for
