The Global Cities Hub highlights how cities are addressing pressing urban health challenges in a rapidly changing world. This initiative focuses on the impacts of climate change, urbanization, and social inequality on public health, emphasizing the need for integrated, cross-sectoral policies. Cities are at the frontline of protecting health and well-being and must innovate to strengthen resilience, especially among vulnerable populations. The Global Cities Hub fosters dialogue between local authorities, international organizations, and other stakeholders to advance urban health solutions globally. It calls for stronger multilevel governance and partnerships to ensure healthy, inclusive, and sustainable urban environments for future generations.

The goal of this 11-session course is to increase health professionals’ knowledge, self-efficacy, and communication skills related to climate change and health; expand global workforce capacity to develop and implement educational programs on climate change and health; and build and strengthen an agile and informed community around climate and health education, advocacy, and policy.

The Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction is the main global forum to assess and discuss progress on the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. The eighth session of the Global Platform (GP2025) will be organized and convened by the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) from 2 to 6 June 2025, in Geneva, Switzerland. The event will be co-chaired by the Government of Switzerland and UNDRR.

The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) and the Federation of American Scientists invite you to a briefing about how federal policies can bolster resilience to extreme heat at the state and community level. Communities are experiencing hotter, more frequent, and more prolonged periods of record-breaking heat. Not only does extreme heat have immediate public health ramifications (heat-related deaths have more than doubled since 1999), it also exacerbates drought and wildfire risk, harms crops and livestock, and strains energy systems. Together, these impacts cost the United States an estimated $162 billion in 2024. This briefing will highlight the Federation of American Scientists’ 2025 Heat Policy Agenda, which outlines policy considerations for Congress and the Administration to prevent infrastructure damage, economic impacts, and loss of life from heat. Speakers will describe opportunities to safeguard critical infrastructure such as our energy systems, improve productivity, and improve federal and subnational coordination on heat preparedness, management, and resilience. Speakers to be announced. This event is free and open to the public. Please RSVP to expedite check-in.
