This report will be launched in Barcelona. Prof. Cathryn Tonne and Prof. Joacim Rocklöv, co-Directors of The Lancet Countdown in Europe, will present the main findings. International, European, and local organisations will follow. They will highlight the progress developed on the ground, and the gaps needed to accelerate climate change action in cities.
A panel discussion with local representatives and experts will follow. The discussion will explore the key ingredients needed for successful integrated climate and health action: How does transformative change actually happen? What role do indicators play in driving equitable progress? How are cities turning climate policy into practice? And how do we bring people along to build the social support that ambitious action demands, supported throughout by strong implementation, monitoring, partnerships and societal engagement?
