There is an increased attention to the health consequences of climate change, and on the health co-benefits of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. We believe highlighting the link between climate change and health has the potential to mobilise new groups of citizens for climate action. In this session we will get a presentation of current research in the field and a conversation on policy implications for Europe.
