Global Climate and Health Summit

External Event - 16th to 17th Jul 2025

The Global Climate and Health Summit
Date: July 16th-17th, 2025
Location: QEII Centre, London
Virtual attendance also available 

The Physiological Society is excited to announce that the Global Climate and Health Summit will take place on 16 – 17 July 2025 at the QEII Centre in London and online.

This ground-breaking event, supported by Wellcome, will address the critical intersection of climate change and human health. The Summit will convene researchers, policymakers and climate experts to tackle the urgent health challenges posed by climate change. The summit will be free to attend and travel support will be available to Early Career Researchers, with enhanced support available for those from Low- and Middle-Income Countries.

Registration will open shortly. Please express your interest in attending by visiting globalclimateandhealthsummit.org.

 

A call to action on climate and health

Climate change is the greatest health threat facing humanity. From the rise in heat-related illnesses to the impact of extreme weather on global food security and air pollution, the effects of climate change on health are being felt worldwide. The Global Climate and Health Summit aims to catalyse action by providing a platform for collaborative discussions, knowledge exchange, and the development of innovative solutions.

The Summit will transition from identifying physiological research gaps to driving real-world collaborations and actionable strategies. Alongside researchers and policymakers, the Summit will prioritise involvement of individuals with lived experiences of the impact of climate change on health. Attendees will explore innovative solutions to enhance global health resilience, especially for vulnerable and underserved populations.

 

Key features of the summit:

  • Thematic Strands: the program will be structured around three key themes with physiology at their core —Heat Resilience, Sustainable Food Systems and Nutrition, and Air Quality—to address priority climate-related health issues.
  • Collaboration: the Summit will bring physiologists together with other disciplines and policymakers, with a programme and sessions designed to foster transdisciplinary collaborations.
  • Expert Panels and Interactive Workshops: featuring world-renowned experts and hands-on sessions focused on practical solutions and policy implementation.
  • Global Participation: a hybrid format allowing both in-person and virtual attendees to engage in discussions and build transdisciplinary networks.
  • Networking Opportunities: dedicated time for connecting stakeholders across academia, healthcare, policy, and industry.
