The event, organized by the Department of Care, Government of Flanders, in collaboration with the WHO Regions for Health Network and the European Committee of the Regions, will focus on how to take action on the impact of climate change on health and wellbeing, as well as on the impact of health and care systems on the climate. This event will provide an opportunity to discuss good practices in depth and learn from each other. The event will host 10 different workshops. Participants will have a chance to take part in 6 of the workshops.
At the end of these three days, participants should have a better knowledge of actions and projects in other regions. Moreover, participants should have knowledge and be inspired on ‘how’ to draft practical and usable policies.
This event is hosted as a small in-person gathering in order to give everybody a chance to fully participate in the discussions. Participation will be limited to a maximum of 80 attendees and focus mainly on policy officers involved in this policy area. Participants from an academic background are also welcome, but priority will be given to policy officers.
