Climate Change and Respiratory Health

20.05.2026 18:00 – 20:30

Climate change is already impacting the air we breathe-and our lungs. Higher ground-level ozone, smoke from wildfires, increased pollen production, rising temperatures, air pollution, and changing humidity can all trigger lung inflammation. As a result, people become more susceptible to respiratory infections, leading to increased hospitalizations and premature deaths, particularly among vulnerable populations.

This event aims to raise awareness about how climate-related factors impact respiratory health, particularly among vulnerable populations, and how stronger immune health may help reduce these risks.

At the policy level, it will explore strategies to strengthen prevention in respiratory health and environmental policy, while advocating for greater focus on prevention, innovation, reduced environmental burden, and stronger public health resilience.
