CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS

ON OCCUPATIONAL AND

ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH

Why
CliCON OEH2025?

Organizing CliCON OEH2025 is critically important due to the urgent and multifaceted health challenges posed by climate change. Rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and increased frequency of extreme weather events exacerbate health risks such as heat stress, vector-borne diseases, and respiratory issues, particularly affecting vulnerable occupational groups like agricultural and construction workers. Environmental degradation, such as deteriorating water and air quality, further impacts human health, leading to significant economic and social consequences, including productivity loss, higher healthcare costs, and increased social inequity. Comprehensive research, evidence-based policy development, and global collaboration are essential to address these challenges, along with raising public awareness and building capacity to respond effectively.

CliCON OEH2025 aims to bring together leading experts, policymakers, and practitioners to discuss and address the pressing challenges posed by climate change on occupational and environmental health. This conference will serve as a crucial platform for fostering interdisciplinary dialogue, sharing innovative research, and developing actionable strategies to mitigate the impacts of climate change on workers' health and the environment.
