About the event
The role of policy, advocacy and financing in addressing climate-related health challenges.
Join us in Oxford for an enlightening roundtable discussion on the critical intersection of climate change and health.
Climate change poses a severe global health threat, leading to extreme weather, injuries, fatalities and altered disease patterns. Rising temperatures increase heat-related illnesses, especially in vulnerable populations, while changing precipitation patterns cause food insecurity and malnutrition. Climate-related disasters also displace communities, triggering mental health issues and disrupting healthcare access.
Addressing these challenges requires urgent action through advocacy, policy development and focused research on the climate-health nexus. Understanding these pathways will inform policies and interventions to protect health, promote equity, and build resilient health systems, ensuring societal well-being and sustainability in a changing climate.
By bringing together University of Oxford staff, students and global experts, the roundtable aims to inspire and educate participants, fostering advocacy for policies and sustainable financing to build climate-resilient health systems and champion a healthier, environmentally sustainable future.
Can’t join us in person?
Whilst we would love for you to join us in person, we understand that this might not be possible for those who are based overseas or have competing work commitments. However, we wouldn't want you to miss out on the Oxford experience, so we are also live-streaming the panel discussion online (6.15-7.45pm BST) and recording the session. Book your online place.
Tickets are free of charge, but please reserve your place so we know to expect you on the day.
