Keep cool in the heat! European action for good health and well-being on a warming planet
Climate change is the major health threat of the 21st century. Its most direct and noticeable impact is the rise in intensity and frequency of extreme heat events across the European Region and the world. As temperatures soar and life-threatening heat stress intensifies, the urgency to act increases. To ensure that all our communities can keep cool and remain habitable, we need rapid advances towards climate-neutrality, technological and organisational upgrades and better prevention, preparedness and response for extreme temperatures. This requires active coordination between all relevant policy fields and actors. This event is about the efforts undertaken in the European Region to ensure good health and well-being for everyone on a warming planet. This event will provide first-hand information from high-level European policy-makers to learn more about relevant practices and experiences, and to gain insights from experts in the field
