2026 Climate & Health Conference
Hosted by U of T's Collaborative Centre for Climate, Health & Sustainable Care.
The 2026 Climate & Health Conference provides a forum for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to share evidence and innovations that advance understanding and action to strengthen health in a changing climate. This full-day event will bring together researchers, students, health professionals, policymakers, government leaders, and system partners to connect, share knowledge, and advance climate and sustainability action for health, health systems, and planetary health.
We invite submissions for papers, panels, workshops, and posters that examine climate change alongside related ecological challenges, including biodiversity loss, pollution, land and water degradation, and their implications for planetary health.
Submissions may report on rigorous research from diverse medical, social or physical science disciplines, or innovative and impactful solutions in policy and practice across local, national, and global contexts. Topics can relate to Climate Change and Health, Planetary Health, Sustainability, One Health, Political Ecology of Health and others.
Late-breaking posters: Applications will open in June and are due by August 28.
