The Lancet Countdown Report on Health and Climate Change in Europe: Insights from Italy

This webinar explores the italian regional version of the Lancet Countdown global report, published in mid-May, focusing on the impact of climate change on health in the European region.
A Lancet author (Elisa Gallo, IS Global) presents the European report, followed by six interventions that zoom in on Italy, addressing six key indicators: heat, drought and floods, climate-sensitive infectious diseases, air pollution, sustainable diets, and public and political engagement.
Italy, along with Southern Europe, is frequently identified as a "hotspot" for the effects of the climate crisis on health and society. The Lancet Countdown and the European Environment Agency highlighted these critical issues in their May reports.
