This conference, organised by the Commission, will bring together climate change & health researchers, funders and policymakers to reflect on the current challenges and needs for research in this area. Additionally, the conference will support the launch of a strategic research and innovation agenda identifying the priority topics for the years to come.

The conference will focus on four themes:
- Short and long-term impacts from climate change
- Climate change in the context of other environmental stressors
- Climate change and the health sector
- A global research agenda on climate change and health

The conference will also include an exhibition space. Information on calls for poster submissions will be available soon.

YoPA – Youth-centered participatory action for a healthy lifestyle

The YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa.  By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
