Are you a researcher studying health in humanitarian crises? Interested in how that intersects with climate change? Fogarty, Canada's International Development Research Center, and Elrha, a global research organization that focuses on humanitarian problems, are collaborating to convene the second Global Forum on Humanitarian Health Research: GFH2R 2025.

GFH2R 2025 will include a series of public webinars starting in August 2024 and an in-person meeting in May 2025 in Nairobi, Kenya. The Forum seeks to bring researchers and humanitarian organizations (including NGOs, local policymakers, and international agencies) together to share experiences and promote collaboration around health research in humanitarian settings. The theme for GFH2R 2025 is Health Research at the Nexus of Humanitarian Crises and Climate Change.

The May 2025 meeting will be built around case study presentations by researchers from regions of the world affected by humanitarian crises. The Forum prioritizes the participation of researchers from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), encourages networking and mentoring, and creates a venue for open and inclusive discussions.
