This Peer-to-Peer Learning session aims to provide a space for local governments and practitioners from the healthcare sector to share insights, challenges, and strategies to adapt healthcare services to rising temperatures, and to discuss how solutions can be co-designed by municipalities and key stakeholders. 

The event will feature city officials and health workers from the Dresden Pilot, including representatives from the HealthforFuture network in Dresden, and from the cities of Grenoble and Barcelona.
