Rising temperatures, extreme weather, and ecosystem disruption are driving new risks – from heat stress to the spread of novel infectious diseases. At the same time, healthcare systems are under pressure to decarbonise and adapt. In response, innovators are developing solutions that address both human and planetary health. From climate-resilient infrastructure and AI-powered disease forecasting to nature-based therapies and low-carbon medical technologies, these approaches reflect a growing recognition that environmental and public health are deeply interconnected. In this session, a selection of experts will explore how their innovations are advancing wellbeing in a changing climate.
