I took an active role in the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) health working group session, where we discussed the need for a data commons in climate and health: shared data that many organisations can use.

I was also an observer at two events hosted by Bayer:

- "Healthy Futures: catalysing climate resilience innovation across the life sciences ecosystem", with CGI
- "Extreme heat's hidden toll on kidney health", at Goals House
