The symposium will overview current research programs and innovative findings from research on heat-related health impacts and adaptation. The symposium will be part of the 33rdAnnual Conference of the International Society for Environmental Epidemiology (ISEE 2021) that will take place between August 23-26, 2021.

This webinar is part of the 5th European Climate Change Adaptation Conference (ECCA) webinar series. It presents state-of-the art knowledge on health effects of global warming linked to heat stress and other climate hazards in a European context and discusses how alternative policy options and measures can help safeguarding the health and wellbeing of citizens through climate action.  

The year 2020 was one of the three warmest on record. This year, we must also brace ourselves for a long, hot summer as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic exacerbates the problems caused by prolonged periods of heat. Join this webinar organised jointly by the WHO European Centre for Environment and Health and the International Association of National Public Health Institutes (IANPHI) Secretariat.
