European Healthcare Climate Summit

We are halfway through a decisive decade for climate action— yet current policies and commitments are falling short of the emission reductions needed to stay within the crucial 1.5°C temperature threshold. At the same time, Europe is already experiencing a surge in extreme weather events with escalating health impacts, creating an undeniable urgency for both climate mitigation and adaptation in the health sector.

The 7th European Healthcare Climate Summit will spotlight the leading role of healthcare institutions and professionals in this transition, and focus on bridging the gap between climate mitigation and adaptation. As both a significant contributor of emissions and a frontline responder acutely exposed to climate-related shocks, the sector must act on two fronts: reducing its carbon footprint while strengthening its ability to anticipate, withstand, and recover from climate extremes.

This year’s Summit will showcase practical pathways to resilience, highlighting innovations, solutions, and replicable strategies at both the system and facility levels. Participants will gain actionable insights and leave with a clear roadmap for advancing a sustainable, climate-resilient healthcare system in a warmer Europe.
