Protecting Health and Wellbeing through environmental and climate implementation – Summer Meeting 1 July 2026

EUREGHA, as Secretariat of the European Committee of the Regions’ Interregional Group on Health and Well-being, invites interested stakeholders to register for the upcoming Summer Meeting of the Interregional Group.

The meeting, titled “Protecting health and wellbeing through environmental and climate implementation”, will take place on 1 July 2026, from 9:00 to 10:00 CEST, at the European Committee of the Regions in Brussels, Room JDE70.

Environmental and climate-related risks are increasingly affecting people’s health and wellbeing across Europe, from air and water pollution to heatwaves, floods, chemical exposure and pressures on health and care systems. Regions and cities are at the forefront of translating environmental and climate policies into concrete prevention, resilience and public health measures.

Chaired by Birgitta Sacrédeus, Member of the European Committee of the Regions and Chair of the Interregional Group on Health and Well-being, the meeting will explore the links between environmental action, climate resilience and health outcomes, with a focus on the territorial dimension and the role of regions in protecting citizens’ wellbeing.

The agenda will include contributions from Stefania Proietti, President of Umbria Region and CoR Rapporteur for the Environmental Implementation Review; a representative from Department Zorg / Flanders; and more , followed by an open debate and Q&A.

Please note that, given the limited number of seats, priority will be given to CoR members, with any remaining available spots allocated by the Secretariat on a first-come, first-served basis.
