Health & climate change
Join us at the CEB - Council of Europe Development Bank webinar on May 6th
Today Europe is facing a health crisis coupled with intensifying challenges brought about by climate change. Covid-19 hit at the heart of existing social vulnerabilities in Europe related to growing incidence of non-communicable diseases, population ageing and persistent inequalities. At the same time, human health and well-being are intrinsically linked with the state of environment, which in turn depends on human activity and life choices. How to break the vicious circle of environmental degradation and declining state of health? What strategies and investments for healthier and more sustainable European societies post-Covid-19?

11th Symposium Health Care of the Future 2026 On Friday, 13 March, we had the pleasure of hosting the 11th Symposium “Health Care of the Future” at the Academy of Arts at the Brandenburg Gate – an inspiring day dedicated to the transformation of healthcare. Under the theme “Ex STRUCTURA – smart care, human values” , the symposium focused on the paradigm shift that involves consciously deconstructing, reorganising, and rethinking established structures.
