“Climate, Justice, and Health” Expert Conference

The “Climate, Justice, and Health” Expert Conference will be held on November 19–20, 2026, as an in-person event at Hochschule Magdeburg-Stendal. 🌍☀️

The conference focuses on the health impacts of climate change and their unequal distribution, particularly affecting socially disadvantaged groups, older adults, people with chronic illnesses, and workers in physically demanding outdoor jobs. It will explore how scientific findings can be effectively translated into health-promoting practice. 💡🏥

Targeting applied researchers from universities, institutes, companies, and professional associations, the event also welcomes students and alumni. Key topics include heat, UV, and climate-related occupational hazards; environmental impacts on vulnerable populations; and climate-related risks for older and chronically ill individuals.

A strong emphasis will be placed on project implementation, evaluation, and communication, including participatory approaches and effective reporting of climate-related health risks. Participants will gain insights into practical strategies to reduce health inequities and promote resilience in the face of climate change. 🌱🤝
