For your information, please see the session description, objectives and 
list of speakers below.

Session Description

The session will examine the health benefits of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) 
in preventing

disease and promoting health, with a focus on noncommunicable diseases 
(NCDs).

It will highlight how well-designed urban NbS can address climate-related 
challenges –

particularly extreme heat and flooding – while improving population 
well-being.

The discussion will emphasize equity-driven, evidence-based, and sustainable 
approaches that enhance climate resilience and meet societal needs – 
including access to green space, shade, and urban cooling – and support 
Member States in advancing integrated, health promoting, and 
climate-responsive policies, while strengthening community engagement.

Session Objectives

The outcome of the session will inform the WHO European Regional Strategy on 
tackling NCDs and advancing health promotion and well-being (2027–2037) by 
identifying priority actions for applying NbS to interconnected climate and 
health challenges, particularly in urban settings.
