Join us for a webinar with Rossella Cannarella M.D., Ph.D. and Professor Aldo E. Calogero, to discuss how pesticides can affect fertility. The event will also explore key concerns around the Food and Feed Safety Simplification omnibus proposal.
A new briefing from the EU-funded UBDPolicy project — in which HEAL is a partner — shows how heat impacts city resident’s health.
Europe is the fastest warming continent on Earth, warming twice as fast as the rest of the world. Due to the urban heat island effect, people in cities are particularly at risk. The summer of 2026 saw more than 50,000 excess deaths.
The briefing and infographic explain the health impacts of heat and provide an overview of current policies in place to address heat in different cities. The publications also share recommendations for improvements.
UBDPolicy
The EU-funded research project UBDPolicy, Urban Burden of Disease Estimation for Policy-making, aims to estimate the health and socio-economic costs and benefits of air quality, noise, lack of urban green spaces, heat and temperature, physical activity, and inequity for nearly 1,000 European cities in EU. The project facilitates the stakeholder dialogue to strengthen the uptake of health impact assessments in policymaking and city planning at all levels.
