Climate Change & Infectious Disease Threats

Join Keystone Symposia for a conference on Climate Change & Infectious Disease Threats from June 23-26, 2025 at Herrenhausen Palace, HannoverGermany.

This conference will explore emerging research around how climate change is and will impact vector-borne disease and emerging zoonoses, from tropical to arctic regions around the globe. The program will span molecular to epidemiological insights, integrating our understanding of how environmental changes promote the emergence and spread of various infectious diseases with strategies for how to monitor and control such outbreaks. It will focus on critical areas of emerging climate and health science in the context of infectious disease:

1. Utilizing data science and artificial intelligence tools to inform our understanding of current and future infectious disease threats
2. Immunological, epigenetic and exposomic insights into individual susceptibility to climate-sensitive infections
3. Modeling climate-sensitive health risks and outcomes to study and predict regional and global threats
4. Mitigation strategies and health co-benefits
5. Developing and implementing early warning systems to activate public health measures against outbreaks

With a health equity and justice lens, this conference will highlight evidence-based solutions, such as clinical and public health interventions, to protect the health of the most affected vulnerable and marginalized populations. Participants will explore the policy context surrounding climate and health action to address mitigation, adaptation, and resilience solutions urgently needed.
