Jordan hosts regional climate health summit
Amman hosted the International Conference on Climate Change and Health in the Arab Region from August 24 to 26. This was the second edition of the conference (CCHAR-II 2026). The conference focused on translating scientific evidence regarding the impacts of climate change on health into policies and practical interventions to protect communities and strengthen the capacity of health systems to face climate risks, including air pollution, dust storms, and the effects of heatwaves on health—especially among children, women, and those with chronic diseases. Participants discussed studies on the relationship between climate change and diseases, methods for measuring thermal vulnerability, and issued recommendations to enhance cooperation among institutions, organizations, health policies, and climate change initiatives in the region.
