Plenary programme

From the impact of climate change on population health and health systems to the role of cities in creating healthier communities, the plenary programme examines the interconnected challenges that define public health today. The sessions also explore health equity across urban and rural settings and the opportunities to improve health through better design of our physical and social environments.
