Webinar on addressing climate change impacts on health through national policies

Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety, Directorate-General for Climate Action, and European Environment Agency are organizing this webinar to mark the first anniversary of the launch of the European Climate and Health Observatory under the EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change.

Addressing climate change impacts on health in an effective manner requires actionable national policies. In particular, emphasis on protecting health in national climate change adaptation policies, and the consideration of climate change impacts in the national public health strategies are needed.

This webinar presents examples of integration of health and climate into national governance structures, policy and action from Finland, France and Germany. It will also present the overview of the coverage of climate change impacts in national adaptation policies and national health strategies across the European countries.
