🏙️ Cities are Europe’s frontline for climate action. The 2026 Europe Cities Report of the Lancet Countdown examines how urban areas are advancing climate goals, and what this means for health and resilience.

We support the European Declaration on Heat and Health, a call for urgent EU action as heatwaves become more intense, frequent, and deadly. The declaration urges stronger adaptation, resilient health systems, safer working conditions, and climate policies centred on health, evidence, and equity.

🌡️ Poland faces some of the most acute climate-health risks in the EU. CATALYSE's policy brief, developed with Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL), explores the health impacts of those risks and solutions local policymakers can implement to protect public health.

As communities in Europe face devastating wildfires this summer, the links between wildfires, health & climate change are clearer than ever. Climate change is fuelling wildfire conditions, increasing smoke exposure, and putting pressure on health systems. Read ➡️ lancetcountdown.org/europe/2026-...

🌍 Want to shape the 2028 Lancet Countdown Europe Report? We’re looking for indicator ideas across priorities: - economics - health systems - healthy transport - tree cover - adaptation - mitigation Send the proposal to the relevant WG Lead by 16th Oct. More @ lancetcountdown.org/europe/our-e...

🚀 We’re excited to welcome two new members: - Anandita Pattnaik, from @ucl.ac.uk, joins as Policy and Engagement Manager - Mary Mael, from @isglobal.org, is joining as Project Manager Welcome to the team! We’re looking forward to working together to build a healthier, climate-resilient Europe. 🌱

Lancet Countdown SIDS report was published in The Lancet Global Health! 🏝️ 🌱The report shows how climate change is already affecting health across Small Islands and Developing States, impacting infants and workers, and leading to food insecurity. Read more: lancetcountdown.org/sids/2025-re...

The Lancet Countdown in Europe contributed to the latest @eurohealthnet.bsky.social Magazine on health communications. Our piece highlights low engagement on climate change and health across Europe, based on the 2026 Europe Report.

⚖️ Health gains ground in climate court, even as political attention stalls Our 2026 Report shows that 58% of climate litigation cases reference health. Climate-health engagement elsewhere 📉. Strong political, media & public leadership are needed. 🔗 Read+ www.lancetcountdown.org/europe/2026-...

📜 The 2026 Europe Lancet Countdown Report presents latest evidence on climate-health in Europe. As heatwaves hit Europe, bridging science to policy is more urgent than ever 📹 Here, Francesca Racioppi @whoeurope.bsky.social shares why the report matters. 🔗 Report lancetcountdown.org/europe/2026-...

Last week we launched our policy brief for Spain at a high-level event "Health, sustainability and the healthcare system: a national commitment". The event, organised by the Medical Alliance for Planetary Health (AMESAP) and Organización Médica Colegial, featured political & media representatives.

Five years on, the European Climate and Health Observatory partnership is stronger than ever. Partners reflected on progress and path ahead, bridging research, monitoring & action for a climate-resilient Europe. 🔗 Report: lancetcountdown.org/europe/2026-... 🔗 Observatory: climate-adapt.eea.europa.eu

🌡️ Heat exposure rising fast: in the Lancet Countdown Europe 2026 report, exposure among elderly rose 266% & among infants 121% in 2015-24 vs 1991–2000. This year heatwaves are already taking lives in Europe. Therefore the new @whoeurope.bsky.social Heat–Health Action Plan Guidance is critical.

Part of my @countdowneurope.bsky.social contribution w/ @shourodasgupta.bsky.social. Tracking temperature & labour supply over time in high exposure sectors (e.g. ag, construction). Higher temperatures associated with lower labour supply in Southern Europe. Yet more #climatechange implications.

Para 2050, el 50% de la población mundial será alérgica al polen, según calcula la OMS, por la combinación de mayor polución y temperaturas más altas. Pero no es el único efecto del cambio climático en la salud

El cambio climático empeora las alergias, aumenta las olas de calor y empobrece la dieta en Europa

Un informe alerta de los impactos del calor en la salud: “El caso de España es especialmente grave”, advierte uno de los coautores
