The effects of climate change on human health, though multiple and complex, are becoming increasingly tangible. High temperatures, extreme weather events, and changes in precipitation patterns are causing catastrophic events with significant impacts on citizens’ safety and well-being, as well as numerous indirect effects that influence health determinants such as clean air, access to drinking water, food and housing security, and the transmission of diseases.

Objectives

Highlight the interconnections between climate change and human health, emphasizing the direct and indirect impacts on key health determinants such as air quality, water access, food security, and disease transmission.

Showcase national and international initiatives—such as Spain’s Observatory on Health and Climate Change and the WHO’s ATACH platform—that promote climate-resilient and low-emission health systems.

Share best practices and experiences from governments and institutions that are integrating climate action into public health management through intersectoral collaboration.

Foster dialogue and cooperation among countries and stakeholders to strengthen global health systems’ capacity to respond to climate risks and advance a sustainable, health-centered climate agenda.
