From climate signals to health systems: A new era for infectious and tropical diseases
The ISNTD Climate & Health 2025 conference aims to explore how climate change influences infectious diseases, particularly neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), and to strengthen climate resilience in health systems. It brings together experts across disciplines to integrate climate intelligence into disease surveillance and policy. Key topics include the impact of climate on NTDs, governance and financing for climate-linked health challenges, local and systemic resilience strategies, vector ecology, and collaborative approaches through One Health and open forums.
