Discussing priorities and solutions to shape policy and train the next generation for our shared health.
This one-day conference will explore the complex interactions between climate change and health. Hear from prominent and influential speakers, join discussions on priorities for climate and health at COP29 and beyond, and explore how the health and scientific communities can influence these global negotiations. The diverse programme includes sessions on the health impacts of climate change, as well as solutions that can be implemented to adapt to and mitigate climate change, while improving health worldwide.
The event will showcase the Centre on Climate Change & Planetary Health (CCCPH) at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) as a pioneer in climate and health, shaping policy and training the next generation of leaders. It will highlight impactful projects from CCCPH, the MRC Units at LSHTM, and other partners, providing opportunities for knowledge sharing, networking and collaboration.
Celebrating 125 years, LSHTM is committed to creating a more healthy, sustainable and equitable world. In a time of accelerating change and uncertainty, the conference will spotlight LSHTM’s focus on equipping future researchers, managers and leaders with the skills and knowledge they need to take on today’s challenges through our in-person and new online Master‘s programme on climate change and planetary health.
While the event will be aimed primarily at students (current and prospective) and early career researchers, all internal or external audience members are welcome. Of particular interest to students and early career researchers (ECRs), there will be a session focused on careers in planetary health. The conference will also provide a platform for PhD students and ECRs at LSHTM to present their work and ideas on key topics, fostering a community of innovation and leadership in climate and health.
Delegates can join the hybrid, full-day conference either online or in person. There is no charge for attending but you will need to register in advance. Lunch and refreshments will be provided for those who come in person. The main event will also be followed by a drinks and canapes reception.
Join us to discover how evidence-based research informs climate and health policy and action, and learn how LSHTM is working on new approaches to protect our shared health and educate future planetary health leaders.
