The Global Climate and Health Summit will take place on 16-17 July 2025 at the QEII Centre in London and online. This ground-breaking event, supported by Wellcome, will address the critical intersection of climate change and human health. Through our innovative programme of workshops, group sessions and keynote speakers you will:

• Shape the agenda – Help drive action on heat, air pollution, and nutrition at the intersection of science and policy.
• Build global networks – Connect with leaders across research, government, and civil society.
• Turn evidence into impact – Co-create solutions that protect health and the planet.

The Summit will convene researchers, policymakers and climate experts to tackle the urgent health challenges posed by climate change. The Summit will be free to attend and is supported by Wellcome.

The first International Heat Adaptation School aims to engage students, stakeholders, and researchers from diverse disciplines around the world to better understand the complex nature of extreme heat and reduce its harmful effects on humans. The school will use experiential learning and active, interdisciplinary teaching techniques to encourage the creation of solutions inspired by real-world needs. The school is part of the Global  Centre for Heat Adaptation,  funded by the  National Science Foundation  (USA) and the  Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council  (Canada). The first-of-its-kind Global School on Heat Adaptation aims to engage students, stakeholders, and researchers from various disciplines globally involved in understanding and reducing the impacts of extreme heat. With climate change and health issues presenting as pressing challenges facing tomorrow's leaders, new models are needed to educate the future workforce. The school will use experiential learning and cross-disciplinary, active teaching techniques to foster the creation of more use-inspired, real-world solutions. The school is part of a National Science Foundation (USA) and Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (Canada) funded Global Center for Heat Adaptation. The Center's vision is to strengthen society's ability to manage and adapt to extreme heat across countries, climates, and cultures and train the next generation of global researchers and practitioners using thoughtful and innovative approaches.

Extreme heat now poses the most immediate climate threat to American workers—affecting productivity, health, and business continuity. As climate extremes intensify, the National Commission on Climate and Workforce Health is helping employers understand the rising costs and the case for proactive action. This webinar will feature new research from Elevance Health on how extreme heat drives healthcare utilization and cost increases across worker populations. Join us for a practical conversation that blends cutting-edge research, real-world case studies, and actionable strategies for HR and business leaders.

The 2025 Global Conference on Climate and Health will take place in Brasília, Brazil from 29 to 31 July 2025, hosted by the Government of Brazil, the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Panamerican Health Organization (PAHO). This event will also serve as the annual in-person meeting of ATACH, providing a key platform to highlight the role of ambitious and equitable climate action in global health.

The 2025 NAM Annual Meeting brings together leaders in health, science, policy, and innovation to discuss critical issues at the intersection of climate and health. Hosted by the National Academy of Medicine, this year’s meeting focuses on forward-looking strategies to build climate-resilient health systems, promote health equity, and drive cross-sector collaboration. Participants will engage with experts, explore new research, and contribute to shaping future policy and action on urgent global health challenges. This event serves as a key platform for advancing dialogue and solutions in health transformation amid climate change.

La Organización Meteorológica Mundial (OMM), el Instituto Interamericano para la Investigación del Cambio Global (IAI) y la Universidad de Colorado Boulder tienen entre sus objetivos contribuir  con  la resiliencia regional frente a la variabilidad climática. Con este fin, se  han organizado seminarios regionales  enfocados en promover la  conexión entre los avances científicos recientes y su aplicación en las operaciones  de los Centros regionales del Clima de la OMM y los  Servicios meteorológicos e Hidrológicos Nacionales  en América Latina y el Caribe.   El primer seminario es “Aplicación de los avances científicos sobre ENOS en las operaciones en América Latina y el Caribe".

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI), and the University of Colorado Boulder are jointly committed to strengthening regional resilience to climate variability. To this end, they have organized a series of regional seminars aimed at fostering stronger connections between recent scientific advancements and their practical application within the operations of WMO Regional Climate Centres and National Meteorological and Hydrological Services across Latin America and the Caribbean.

The first seminar in the series is titled: "Application of Recent ENSO Science in Operations Across Latin America and the Caribbean."

As climate extremes intensify, it’s more important than ever for businesses to understand not only how extreme heat impacts employees, productivity, and cost—but also how the heat policy and preparedness landscape is evolving. Drawing on new research on state-level readiness and a landscape analysis of heat-related regulation across federal and state levels, this webinar will help business leaders—especially those in HR, Government Affairs, EHS, and Operations—understand the current state and resources to dig in further. The session will offer clear insights into how employers can engage on public health, anticipate developments, and take proactive steps to protect their workforce amid increasing climate-driven risks.

This event, hosted by the Pathfinder Initiative at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), C40 Cities, Youth for Unity and Voluntary Action (YUVA), and the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) at the UNFCCC Bonn Climate Change Conference (SB 62), will highlight the role of urban climate strategies in national climate plans, and opportunities across sectors to maximise climate and health benefits for cities and urban poor communities. Building on discussions at COP29 on bridging national and local climate mitigation and adaptation efforts, speakers will explore how cities can implement evidence-informed action for climate and health, support marginalised urban communities and just transitions, and evaluate impact to inform and inspire further action in cities worldwide. Speakers will present evidence on the health benefits of climate action across energy, transport, buildings, and food, as well as the potential for nature-based solutions to support climate mitigation and adaptation and create healthier urban environments. Looking ahead to COP30 and the World Mayors Summit later this year, speakers will make the case for systems change and the integration of health and equity into the design, implementation and evaluation of climate policies at all levels. Please be aware that all attendees will need a delegate pass for the Bonn conference via a UNFCCC accredited organisation to attend this event. Please note that this event will be held at 10:30-11:45 local time in Bonn (CEST). 

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.
