About: Record-breaking heat waves, prolonged droughts, devastating floods, wildfires, and the spread of emerging infectious diseases are threatening the health of all living beings on our planet. These developments signal a profound disruption of the delicate balance that sustains life on Earth. As experts within the healthcare system, how can we respond to these growing challenges here and now? What threats must we prepare for— and where do opportunities lie to protect and promote health in the face of planetary crisis?
The Chair of the Summer School, Prof. L. Suzanne Suggs, will welcome participants and facilitators in Lugano and online and give an overview of the general programme.
