About the Conference
Climate change is transforming the landscape of disasters and public health across South-East Asia. Increasing heatwaves, floods, landslides, extreme weather events, and emerging infectious diseases are placing unprecedented pressure on health systems and vulnerable communities.
Nepal, one of the world’s most disaster-prone countries, has made significant progress in shifting from disaster response to disaster risk reduction through its federal governance system and Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) Act. However, strengthening resilient health systems requires stronger collaboration across disciplines, institutions, and countries.
The Nepalese Society of Community Medicine (NESCOM), in collaboration with the RISK-E-SCAPE Project funded by the European Commission, is organising this conference to bring together global and local experts to address today’s most pressing challenges at the intersection of climate change, disasters, and health.
The International Conference on Climate, Disaster and Health: Evidence, Innovation and Resilience provides a unique platform to exchange scientific evidence, showcase innovations, promote policy dialogue, and strengthen partnerships that improve preparedness, response, recovery, and long-term resilience.
