Track 6: Climate Change, Environmental Health and Planetary Health



Climate change is no longer only an environmental issue—it is now one of the greatest global public health challenges of the 21st century. Rising temperatures, air pollution, extreme weather events, water scarcity, food insecurity, and environmental degradation are directly impacting human health and healthcare systems worldwide.

Recognizing the urgent need for global action and interdisciplinary collaboration, the 19th Global Healthcare, Preventive Medicine & Public Health Summit and Exhibition, taking place on December 08–09, 2026 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, proudly presents Track 6: Climate Change, Environmental Health and Planetary Health.

This important track provides a global platform for researchers, healthcare professionals, environmental scientists, policymakers, public health experts, and academicians to discuss innovative research, sustainable solutions, and collaborative strategies that address the complex relationship between environmental change and human health.

Understanding Climate Change and Human Health

Climate change affects nearly every aspect of human life and well-being. Environmental changes are increasing the frequency and severity of health risks around the world.

Some major health impacts linked to climate change include:

  • Heat-related illnesses and deaths

  • Respiratory diseases caused by air pollution

  • Spread of infectious and vector-borne diseases

  • Food and water insecurity

  • Mental health challenges related to climate disasters

Healthcare systems globally are now facing the challenge of adapting to these environmental changes while protecting vulnerable populations.

What is Environmental Health?

Environmental health focuses on how physical, chemical, biological, and social environmental factors affect human health. It aims to create healthier environments by reducing harmful exposures and promoting sustainable living conditions.

Track 6 explores critical environmental health issues such as:

  • Air and water pollution

  • Waste management and sanitation

  • Occupational and industrial health risks

  • Urban environmental challenges

  • Sustainable healthcare environments

Understanding environmental health is essential for building healthier communities and preventing disease.

The Growing Importance of Planetary Health

Planetary health is an emerging field that examines the connection between human health and the health of the planet’s natural systems.

It recognizes that:

  • Human health depends on healthy ecosystems

  • Environmental degradation directly affects population health

  • Sustainable development is essential for future generations

Track 6 encourages discussions on balancing human development with environmental sustainability to ensure long-term global health security.

Climate Change and Global Public Health Challenges

Climate change is intensifying many existing public health concerns, especially in vulnerable populations and low-resource settings.

Key challenges include:

  • Increased prevalence of infectious diseases

  • Natural disasters and emergency health crises

  • Malnutrition caused by food insecurity

  • Displacement and migration due to climate events

  • Health inequalities and access to care

Healthcare professionals and policymakers must work together to develop adaptive and preventive strategies that strengthen healthcare resilience.

Air Pollution and Respiratory Health

Air pollution remains one of the leading environmental risks to human health. Poor air quality contributes to millions of deaths worldwide each year.

Track 6 addresses issues related to:

  • Respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD

  • Cardiovascular health risks linked to pollution

  • Industrial and urban pollution challenges

  • Strategies for cleaner and healthier environments

Reducing air pollution is essential for improving both environmental sustainability and population health outcomes.

Climate Change and Infectious Diseases

Changing environmental conditions are influencing the spread of infectious diseases worldwide. Rising temperatures and changing ecosystems are increasing the transmission of vector-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue fever.

Topics explored in this track may include:

  • Disease surveillance and environmental monitoring

  • Climate-sensitive infectious diseases

  • Public health preparedness and response

  • Global health security and environmental risks

Understanding the relationship between climate and disease patterns is critical for future healthcare planning.

Sustainable Healthcare Systems

Healthcare systems themselves have environmental impacts through energy use, waste generation, and resource consumption. Sustainable healthcare practices are becoming increasingly important in reducing environmental footprints.

Track 6 encourages discussions on:

  • Green healthcare infrastructure

  • Sustainable hospital management

  • Renewable energy in healthcare facilities

  • Medical waste management and recycling

Sustainable healthcare systems not only protect the environment but also improve long-term operational efficiency.

Mental Health and Climate Anxiety

Climate change also affects mental and emotional well-being. Natural disasters, displacement, environmental stress, and uncertainty about the future can lead to anxiety, trauma, and psychological distress.

Discussions in this area may focus on:

  • Mental health support during climate-related disasters

  • Psychological resilience and coping strategies

  • Community support systems

  • Public health approaches to climate anxiety

Addressing mental health is a vital component of climate-related healthcare planning.

Innovation and Technology for Environmental Health

Technology and innovation are playing a major role in addressing environmental health challenges. Advanced tools and digital solutions help monitor environmental risks and support evidence-based decision-making.

Track 6 explores innovations such as:

  • AI and data analytics for environmental monitoring

  • Smart healthcare and sustainable technologies

  • Climate data and predictive modeling

  • Digital health tools for environmental surveillance

These advancements support more effective public health planning and climate adaptation strategies.

Global Collaboration for a Healthier Planet

Climate change and environmental health challenges require international cooperation and shared responsibility. No single country or organization can solve these issues alone.

The 19th Global Healthcare, Preventive Medicine & Public Health Summit and Exhibition provides a global platform for:

  • International research collaboration

  • Sharing sustainable healthcare solutions

  • Discussing environmental health policies

  • Building partnerships for climate resilience

Collaborative efforts are essential for protecting both human and planetary health.

Why This Track Matters for the Future

Track 6 is one of the most critical discussions in modern healthcare because environmental sustainability and public health are deeply interconnected.

This track highlights the importance of:

  • Climate-resilient healthcare systems

  • Sustainable public health strategies

  • Environmental awareness and prevention

  • Long-term global health protection

The future of healthcare depends on how effectively healthcare systems respond to environmental and climate-related challenges today.
