Scientific Sessions

This session explores the profound connections between climate change, environmental degradation, and global health. As extreme weather events, pollution, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem disruptions intensify, understanding their impacts on human health—and the health of the planet—is essential for building resilient and sustainable communities. Key topics include climate-related health risks, environmental determinants of disease, sustainable health systems, and the role of public health in climate adaptation and mitigation. The session will also highlight evidence-based strategies such as climate-resilient healthcare infrastructure, low-carbon healthcare models, nature-based solutions, and cross-sector collaborations that support planetary well-being. Participants will gain insights into climate vulnerability assessments, disaster preparedness, community resilience planning, and policy frameworks that promote environmental stewardship. This session aims to equip professionals with the knowledge to design sustainable health interventions, advocate for climate-informed policies, and protect both population health and the ecosystems that sustain life.
