Title: COVID-19 pandemic. Climate change and international health from a geopolitical perspective.Summary:When thinking about the significant impact of climate change on health and wellness, it is clear that in our contemporary societies, multiple determinants -from individual to international level- and the policies adopted in this respect, directly or indirectly affect the population’s health, beyond the national borders. Therefore, the International Health study and approach has an undeniable relevance. The COVID-19 pandemic reveals the need for a critical analysis of the current architecture of Global Health and International Cooperation and the urgency of redefining the international health agenda. To do this, the contribution of Latin American Social Medicine and Collective Heath is being addressed.
