60% of global disease burden
Asia carries the majority of the world's disease burden. Yet across the region, city health systems remain primarily reactive: surveillance data is fragmented across health, environment, and water departments; predictive capacity is limited; and financing for resilience infrastructure rarely reaches the city level in bankable form.
The Asia Climate-Health Resilience Hub was created to address this precise system failure, dedicated to strengthening city-led climate-health early warning systems.
Launched in October 2025 at the Tri Hita Karana Global Blended Finance Alliance Dialogue in Bali, the Hub is hosted at United in Diversity in partnership with the Ministry of Health of Indonesia.
The Hub supports subnational governments to:
- Understand and prioritise climate-related health risks
- Coordinate action across departments and sectors
- Secure sustainable financing for implementation
- Embed climate-health resilience into regular government systems
Our Approach
The Hub operates through an integrated model that combines systems strengthening with long-term financing.
City-led and community-rooted
Early warning systems are designed around city leadership while incorporating community and facility-level surveillance.
Integrated climate-health intelligence
Multiple data sources-climate, environmental, health, and local knowledge-are brought together to inform timely decisions.
Institutional ownership
Participating governments contribute matching funds, ensuring accountability, sustainability, and long-term commitment.
Blended financing for implementation
Public budgets are aligned with philanthropic investment, corporate social responsibility funding, and climate finance to support multi-year programmes, not short-term pilots
Cohort-based learning
Cities progress together, learning from peers facing similar governance and climate challenges across the region.
ASEAN 2030 Vision
The Hub contributes to a shared regional vision in which Asian cities are equipped to anticipate climate-related health risks and act early to protect communities.
By 2030, the Hub aims to support:
- Stronger city-level preparedness and prevention
- Integrated climate-health decision-making across government systems
- Scalable and investable climate-health solutions across the region
This work supports a future where health systems are resilient, inclusive, and capable of responding to climate uncertainty with confidence and foresight.
