Planetary Health Annual Meeting 2025 (Oct 7-10 2025, Rotterdam)
The Planetary Health Annual Meeting, the most important global event on Planetary Health, will be held at the De Doelen in Rotterdam (Netherlands) from 7th to 10th October 2025, led by Erasmus School of Health Policy and Management of the Erasmus University Rotterdam and the Planetary Health Alliance.
The theme of PHAM 2025 is Urgency and Agency for System Change. The vision is to move beyond current achievements as a planetary health community. The aim is to bridge the gap on relevant themes only partially discussed in previous meetings such as the regenerative approach, green transition, trans-disciplinarity, and diversity and inclusion. Our goal is to offer concrete solutions and practical insights while fostering networking for meaningful knowledge-sharing across different sectors. This will enable dialogue, debates and discussions on innovative areas and topics, leading to real-world transdisciplinary actions including integration among different sectors, views, and interests. will be online in mid-December and a call for abstract will be launched in mid-January.

Climate change impacts on mental health in Europe (CliMent)
Last October 29 the COST Action 23113 Climate change impacts on mental health in Europe (CliMent) had its kick off in Brussels (Belgium).
CliMent aims: a) to better understand how climate change affects mental health in Europe; b) to explore the coping strategies and further develop them; c) to implement short-term behavioural interventions to instigate societal action; and d) to implement long-term ways to promote sustainability. Four working groups (WGs) will achieve this working in coordination to conduct systematic and scoping reviews, produce surveys and reports, and organise knowledge dissemination activities. CliMent will harness the potential of the European network and will bridge multiple disciplines to tackle climate change-related mental health challenges. The expected outcomes are manifold and multifaceted including (but not limited to): accumulation and consolidation of scientific evidence; career support for mental health scientists and care providers; empowerment of citizens, educators, and policymakers via Communities of Practice specialised in dealing with the effects of climate change on mental health.
