The 14th International Global Health Summer School, hosted by IPPNW Germany in cooperation with Charité Berlin, invites 25 participants to join an immersive, interdisciplinary program exploring the urgent intersections of climate justice, health, and peace.

In a time of ecological collapse, backlash against climate action, and widening health inequities, this year's theme is a call to critically examine the systems at the root of these crises—and to reimagine them through collective care and interdependence.

Through an intersectional, decolonial lens, the program will feature presentations, workshops, and excursions, bridging professional and activist perspectives. Participants will reflect, connect, and co-create in a space dedicated to dialogue, learning, and transformative thinking.

The WHO Regional Office for Africa invites participants to a webinar introducing the Disability Inclusion Guide for Action, a new planning tool designed to help ministries of health strengthen disability inclusion across health systems.

With 16% of the global population living with a disability, health inequities remain significant and unjust, often driven by stigma, discrimination, poverty, and barriers in accessing care. The webinar will highlight the importance of advancing health equity for persons with disabilities, showcase lessons learned from early implementation in African countries, and encourage cross-sectoral dialogue.
