Upcoming Events

A global event with experts and guest speakers from governments, employers and workers will discuss how to protect workers and respond to this global challenge.

Climate change is a threat to the patients we care for in health care. This course will be an opportunity for practicing health professionals to learn about the mechanisms by which climate change impacts human health and how it influences diagnosis, counseling and treatment plans. It will additionally describe the impacts of climate changes on the health care delivery system itself and how health care professionals can make change to address this public health threat. The course will be organized to touch upon climate impacts on a diversity of health conditions and disease processes and will be valuable to health care providers of all fields.

Este 2 de mayo, únete a profesionales de la salud, ocupacionales y ambientales de toda Latinoamérica y el Caribe para explorar los desafíos y oportunidades que el cambio climático presenta para la salud ocupacional. Desde los impactos del calor en poblaciones rurales hasta la salud mental de trabajadores de la salud y la seguridad de brigadistas en incendios forestales, nuestro panel de expertos internacionales ofrecerá insights cruciales y soluciones prácticas. No pierdas la oportunidad de contribuir a la conversación y ayudar a moldear un futuro más sostenible y saludable para todos. _______________________________ Discover the connections between occupational health and the climate crisis at our online event "Occupational Health in the Climate Crisis," a joint initiative by the Ibero-American Society for Environmental Health (SIBSA) and the Global Climate and Health Alliance (GCHA). This May 2nd, join health, occupational, and environmental professionals from across Latin America and the Caribbean to explore the challenges and opportunities that climate change presents for occupational health. From the impacts of heat on rural populations to the mental health of healthcare workers and the safety of firefighters in wildfires, our panel of international experts will offer crucial insights and practical solutions. Don't miss the opportunity to contribute to the conversation and help shape a more sustainable and healthy future for everyone.

Transformative change is built on strong networks and connections between diverse people. The CBA conference series aims to bring together a community of practitioners and other key stakeholders, collectively seeking to reimagine solutions that enable transformative outcomes through the agency, knowledge and skills of local communities.

Discussions at WCS 2024 will centre around the theme “Liveable and Sustainable Cities: Rejuvenate, Reinvent, Reimagine”. How do we achieve smart, resilient and regenerative cities now and for future generations? Go to the Programmes section for a first look at our Conference Concept Note, and our Plenary sessions.

The What Works Climate Solutions Summit is a high-level conference for evidence-based climate policy that will take place June 9–12, 2024. It will promote and catalyze synthetic evidence on climate solutions for upcoming climate change assessments – particularly the IPCC’s 7th Assessment Report ─ as well as other forms of scientific policy advice.

SHARE is a free online conference co-hosted by the University of Brighton School of Sport and Health Sciences, Brighton and Sussex Medical School and the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare. There will be keynote talks, oral presentations and posters around this year's theme of:

Fast-tracking resilient and environmentally sustainable health systems

Students, academics, researchers, clinical and estates colleagues from any discipline interested in sustainable healthcare are welcome to attend.

The Extreme Heat Workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners from multiple disciplines to assess and advance the state of knowledge on the mechanisms of concurrent, compounding, and record-breaking heat extremes; to identify community needs; and to develop an interdisciplinary framework for evaluating their risks on sectors including public health, energy, and agriculture, with a cross-cutting focus on climate justice.

The objective of the 18th edition is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for discussions on our current state of knowledge of Mediterranean risks in a climate change context. Different aspects related to monitoring, assessment, diagnosis, prediction, and definition of weather extremes, wildfires, hydro-geological effects, impacts on natural resources, agriculture, health and society, as well as adaptation capacity and preservation strategies for natural and cultural heritage at risk, will be addressed with a multi-sectorial approach. This will be achieved by bringing together scientific experts in the fields of meteorology, hydrology, wildfires, geomorphology, sociology, engineering, cultural heritage conservation, and governmental or private risk management actors.
