We’re delighted to launch the Preliminary Programme for the 7th Healthy City Design 2023 International Congress & Exhibition. Taking place in-person at the Royal College of Physicians’ northern headquarters at The Spine, in Liverpool, the Congress will be the first to be hosted outside of London, in addition to being live streamed through our virtual online event platform.
Dr Carlos Dora has a distinguished career in global public health and environment. Until recently, he co-ordinated the World Health Organization’s global work on health impacts of sector policies (energy, transport, housing, extractive industry) and on articulating a global response to air pollution.
This keynote describes some strategic steps – such as the complementary use of health impact assessment, quantification of health impacts, and linking climate and health actions to national and global policy processes – to apply a systems-based approach to taking action on climate, health and equity.
