Failing forward better: transforming responses to climate-related disasters

Together with the COP26 Unit, as part of the COP26 Health Programme, the Climate Change and Health Group at Public Health England will host a series of six high-level panel discussions to explore horizon questions for climate change impacts and responses within the health sector. Each session will include an academic researcher, someone from a policy background, a practitioner conducting grassroots work and a civil society representative. Collectively we hope to address key climate and health issues while maintaining an individual perspective. The first session will focus on inequalities. It will be followed by sessions on nutrition, infectious diseases, disasters, mental health and end with issues around climate resilience within health systems.
