Conference addresses health challenges posed by climate change


Healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers, and experts from around the world gathered in Doha to explore evidence-based strategies for mitigating the health impacts of climate-related issues. 

The conference was coordinated by the Division of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q).

Titled “Exploring the Nexus of Climate, Health, and Environment” (CHE2025), the two-day conference addressed the intersection of climate change, environmental pollution, and human health, with a strong emphasis on the unique challenges faced by the MENA region. Other areas of focus included sustainable urban planning and healthcare delivery, the food-energy-water-health nexus, and strategies for achieving net-zero emissions in healthcare systems.
