The newly released European State of the Climate 2024 annual report (ESOTC), co-published by the European Union’s Copernicus Earth observation program and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), confirms what public health experts have long warned about: the health costs of climate change in Europe are rising fast, and so is the human toll.
HEAL’s Anne Stauffer spoke at the fourth of a series of high-level Bonn Dialogues on Environment and Health, held by the WHO European Centre for Environment and Health (ECEH), under the auspices of the Environment and Health Process.
The event focused on effective risk communication for environment and health and the latest trends, theories and concepts for efficient communication between science, policy and stakeholders, in the lead up to the WHO Minsterial Environment and Health conference in Budapest in July 2023.
The discussion used as a starting point the recently issued WHO report Effective risk communication for environment and health, realised within the framework of the European Union Health Environment Research Agenda for Europe (HERA) project.
