On 26 May, the ENBEL project (Enhancing Belmont Research Action to support EU policy making on climate change and health) organises an event entitled Novel climate change and health research.

It takes place as part of the European Public Health Week (22-26 May 2023)  and will present novel research findings on health impacts of climate change from the ENBEL network of climate change and health research projects. We will present the research in the form of engaging videos, messages and training materials.

Floods in Italy and record heat in Spain were just the opener to another projected summer of extreme weather events with increased health impacts. 

In view of Europe’s vulnerability, decision-makers have to step up on climate adaptation, especially in cities, with prioritising those measures that protect health the most, while keeping focused on the green transformation and the 1.5 Paris agreement goal.
