Climate Change and Health Day

Climate change threatens the basic elements of life such as access to clean air, food and shelter – and with that human health. Climate change is according to the WHO the greatest threat to human healt in the 21st century. But it could also be the greatest global health opportunity.

On 18 May – Climate Change and Health Day –, as part of the European Public Health Week we are kicking off the day with online event discussion and public screening of ENBEL's videos. The event will be also live projected on youtube channel of EUPHA.
