Consortium Meeting in Belgrade
The PLANET4HEALTH consortium gathered in Belgrade on March 10-11 for a long-awaited in-person meeting, held over a year after our initial kick-off meeting. The meeting was hosted by our partners from the Institute for Medical Research (IMR), who made sure we felt at home in Belgrade.
Reflecting on the First Year of PLANET4HEALTH: A Year of Progress and Collaboration
During 2024 PLANET4HEALTH project made significant progress in addressing the
environmental impacts on human, animal, and ecosystem health. With important
milestones achieved, there is much to look forward to as the project continues into 2025.
Why Climate Change is a Human Health Concern?
Climate change is not only about rising global temperatures, which have significant environmental impacts, but also about how human health is adversely affected.
Highlights from the First 10 Months of PLANET4HEALTH Journey
PLANET4HEALTH dedicated team has been actively driving progress in alignment with
mission of the project, engaging in impactful events to raise awareness about
sustainable Planetary Health.

Building Resilient Cities in Valencia: wrap up for EURESFO24!
From June 26 to 28, 2024, the European Urban Resilience Forum (EURESFO24) was held in the vibrant city of Valencia, Spain. This annual event has become a cornerstone for urban resilience, attracting city leaders, climate experts, policymakers, and stakeholders from across Europe and beyond to collaborate on strategies for building resilient cities in the face of climate change and other urban challenges.
The 2024 edition of EURESFO was built around three key thematic streams and a fourth special thematic stream, each addressing crucial aspects of resilience, sustainable development and recovery. The first stream focused on multilevel governance, cooperation, and the imperative of a just transition. The second thematic stream delved into water resilience and the promotion of the Blue Economy within and beyond the Mediterranean region. The third stream aimed at enabling the transformation towards resilient, adaptive, and climate-neutral cities and regions. The fourth special stream focused on building resilience in fragile settings and bridging the gap between Humanitarian Response to Post-conflict Resilience and Recovery.
