CoR’s Interregional Group on Health and Wellbeing Summer Meeting 2026

Environmental and climate-related risks are increasingly affecting people’s health and wellbeing across Europe, from air and water pollution to heatwaves, floods, chemical exposure and pressures on health and care systems. Regions and cities are at the forefront of addressing these challenges, translating environmental and climate policies into concrete prevention, resilience and public health measures. This event seeks to explore the links between environmental action, climate resilience and health outcomes, with a focus on the territorial dimension and the role of regions in protecting citizens’ wellbeing. It will also connect to the forthcoming Committee of the Regions opinion on the Environmental Implementation Review, bringing forward regional health perspectives on how stronger environmental implementation can improve public health outcomes, support prevention, reduce inequalities and strengthen resilient communities.

Global Health Symposium: Extreme heat and health in the context of climate change

The goal of the annual UCPH Global Health Symposium is to highlight a global health emergency: The impact of extreme heat on public health due to climate change. In the next decade or so, heat is anticipated to emerge as one of the foremost consequences of climate change impacting public health. Although the deleterious effects of heat on health have been documented in different fields of study, we are still not adequately prepared to address this challenge on a global scale. The aim of this symposium is to bring together leading scientific experts and practitioners, young researchers, students, and the public to share and discuss the current state of research and practice globally, to promote transdisciplinary collaboration, and to identify steps needed to advance the field.
