Pathfinder 2 builds on the first phase of the Pathfinder Initiative to accelerate action toward a healthy, net-zero future. The project generates context-specific evidence on the health and climate benefits of mitigation actions and strengthens the capacity of institutions to design, implement, and evaluate these actions using co-design principles.
Implemented through three work packages—Evidence for Action, Monitoring and Evaluation, and Capacity Strengthening—Pathfinder 2 promotes collaboration through the Coalition on Climate Action for Health and supports policy integration of health co-benefits in climate planning. The project runs from August 2023 to December 2025, funded by Wellcome, and led by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine in partnership with APHRC and AFIDEP.
i. Identifying and delivering context-specific evidence on the benefits (and potential trade-offs) of the mitigation actions for human health and the climate.
ii. Strengthening capacity to develop, implement and evaluate climate mitigation actions that sustain and promote human health and increase equity and
resilience, using principles of co-design
