The International Society of City and Regional Planners (ISOCARP) is a platform with the vision to make cities and human settlements inclusive, resilient and sustainable through participatory urban and territorial planning. The aim of this year's congress is to highlight the need for pathways along the theme: ‘From Wealthy to Healthy Cities.’ It also includes the topic of climate change adaptation.
World Health Organization (WHO) and Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) are jointly organising the webinar ”Protecting environments and health by building urban resilience”, on Tuesday, 4 October 2022, from 09:30 to 11:00 hrs (CEST). Urban and spatial planning needs to increasingly consider preparedness and resilience as a determinant of public health at the local level. Climate change, inadequate urbanization patterns and environmental degradation have left many cities vulnerable to disasters such as extreme weather events, chemical accidents, floods, earthquakes, power cuts, pandemics, or forest fires.
This seminar, in memory of Hans Rosling, world-renowned professor of global public health at Karolinska Institutet (KI), aims at continuing the work in Rosling's spirit for fact-based decisions, the belief that change is possible. This seminar informs about planetary health and safeguarding human health on a rapidly changing planet. It touches among others upon the impact of climate shocks on human nutrition and health, and on global nutritional impacts of rising concentrations of atmospheric CO2.
