Planetary Health Talk on 14 January 2026

As part of the Pettenkofer School of Public Health's ‘Planetary Health Talks,’ experts present exciting lectures on various planetary health topics. Planetary crises, including climate change, species extinction, and air, water, and soil pollution, pose the greatest health risk of the 21st century. For example, there is an increase in mortality due to heat waves, reduced food security after prolonged periods of drought, and mental health issues after floods or other extreme weather events.

The Planetary Health Talks are free of charge, designed for an interdisciplinary audience and open to everyone interested.

The next session is:
