Subject: Rebooting Health Promotion: Nature-based solutions for prevention and health promotion in a changing climate, 29 April 2026 11:45 – 12:30 CEST
Dear Members of the EHTF,
Our division for Prevention and Health Promotion (PHP) is holding meetings from 29-30 April 2026 on Rebooting Health Promotion.
The concept note and flyer are attached.
During this event, WHO ECEH will be holding a session on Nature-based solutions for prevention and health promotion in a changing climate, 29 April 2026 11:45 – 12:30 CEST to which you are invited to participate.
Please complete the registration form at: https://who.zoom.us/meeting/register/q54cMSu1QyuM4qF3mrvI_A#/registration
For your information, please see the session description, objectives and list of speakers below.
Session Description
The session will examine the health benefits of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in preventing
disease and promoting health, with a focus on noncommunicable diseases (NCDs).
It will highlight how well-designed urban NbS can address climate-related challenges –
particularly extreme heat and flooding – while improving population well-being.
The discussion will emphasize equity-driven, evidence-based, and sustainable approaches that enhance climate resilience and meet societal needs – including access to green space, shade, and urban cooling – and support Member States in advancing integrated, health promoting, and climate-responsive policies, while strengthening community engagement.
Session Objectives
The outcome of the session will inform the WHO European Regional Strategy on tackling NCDs and advancing health promotion and well-being (2027–2037) by identifying priority actions for applying NbS to interconnected climate and health challenges, particularly in urban settings.
Moderators:
Sinaia Netanyahu, Senior Advisor for Nature and Health, WHO European Centre for Environment and Health, and
Rebecca Lovell, Senior Lecturer in Biodiversity, Health and Policy, European Centre for Environment and Human Health
