Tracking the connections between health and climate change in Europe.
🌡️ Urban heat is intensifying health risks in European cities

Built environment & limited green space make cities hotter and + dangerous during heatwaves.

Trees, cool surfaces & climate-health planning can lower temperatures and protect those most at risk.

🏙️ Cities are Europe’s frontline for climate action. The 2026 Europe Cities Report of the Lancet Countdown examines how urban areas are advancing climate goals, and what this means for health and resilience.

We support the European Declaration on Heat and Health, a call for urgent EU action as heatwaves become more intense, frequent, and deadly.

The declaration urges stronger adaptation, resilient health systems, safer working conditions, and climate policies centred on health, evidence, and equity.

🌡️ Poland faces some of the most acute climate-health risks in the EU.

CATALYSE's policy brief, developed with Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL), explores the health impacts of those risks and solutions local policymakers can implement to protect public health.

As communities in Europe face devastating wildfires this summer, the links between wildfires, health & climate change are clearer than ever.

Climate change is fuelling wildfire conditions, increasing smoke exposure, and putting pressure on health systems.

The Lancet Countdown in Europe contributed to the latest @eurohealthnet.bsky.social Magazine on health communications.

Our piece highlights low engagement on climate change and health across Europe, based on the 2026 Europe Report.

⚖️ Health gains ground in climate court, even as political attention stalls

Our 2026 Report shows that 58% of climate litigation cases reference health. Climate-health engagement elsewhere 📉.

Strong political, media & public leadership are needed.
