🌍 Circle U. Open Conversation: One Planet – One Health? 🌱

On April 22, 2026 (11:00–12:30), the Circle U. invites participants to an engaging online Open Conversation exploring how climate change is reshaping the way we think about health 🌡️🧠.

This session highlights the deep connections between climate change and disease across humans, animals, and ecosystems 🌿🐾—challenging traditional, human-centered medical perspectives. While much attention has been given to human health, the discussion will also shed light on often-overlooked plant diseases and their critical role in sustaining ecosystems and livelihoods 🌾.

Guided by the holistic One Health approach, leading experts—including researchers from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and UCLouvain—will explore new challenges and interdisciplinary solutions for global health in a changing climate 🌎.

📺 The event will be livestreamed, and registration is open until April 21.

This session highlights how parents and caregivers are central to children’s health, development, and well-being—but also why they need strong, coordinated support from across society. 🌱 The webinar will explore how the health sector can play a more active role, from pregnancy through adolescence, by embedding practical, evidence-based parenting support into everyday health services.

Participants will gain a clearer understanding of:

• Why the health sector is essential in supporting families

• What kinds of support can be delivered through health systems (like guidance, caregiver support, and information sharing)

• How collaboration across sectors can strengthen care pathways and improve family well-being 🤝

Real-world examples from Jordan and Tanzania will be shared, along with practical tools to make parenting support a sustainable part of health services.

Organized by global partners, this session brings together experts and practitioners to share knowledge, experiences, and actionable ideas—making it a valuable opportunity for anyone interested in child and family health 🌍
