Main theme “Understanding and Responding to Global and Local Challenges: Environmental Epidemiology in a Changing World”

The BlueAdapt Final Conference will facilitate dialogue between researchers, policymakers and civil society to explore ways to transform project results into action – from local to EU level – to protect coastal communities and improve integration between environmental, climate, and health policies.

Europe's coasts support our health and wellbeing, sustain local economies, and provide essential ecosystems that contribute to our lives. But health risks from climate change and pollution are impacting communities, creating new challenges for public health across Europe.The BlueAdapt Final Conference, under the topic 'Climate Change & Health: Building Resilience and Reducing Risks in Coastal Environments', will explore ways to transform project results into action to protect vulnerable communities and improve integration between environmental, climate, and health policies.

The first DesirMED Adaptation Festival will be organized alongside the Mediterranean Coast Day wit a theme of "The Mediterranean We Desire". It offers a unique opportunity to engage citizens, policymakers, and local communities in discussions on climate adaptation, coastal resilience, and Nature-based Solutions in the Mediterranean region.

Europe stands at a pivotal moment for health and well-being. Health is not only a social good but a strategic pillar of European unity and resilience. Recent crises, from the COVID-19 pandemic and the climate crisis to demographic and technological change, have exposed the limits of fragmented national responses and the risks of weakening solidarity, cross-border cooperation, and trust in scientific evidence.

Urban and global synergies: shaping the future of public health with climate resilience, equity and innovation.

From pandemics and climate shocks to cyberattacks and economic instability, today's health systems must not only withstand stress but emerge stronger. RESOLVE is a four-day intensive course designed to equip public health professionals, policymakers, analysts, and system leaders with the knowledge and tools to evaluate and enhance health system resilience.
