Conference overview

The Climate Health and Sustainable Healthcare in Aotearoa Conference 2023 (CHSH2023) is open to anyone interested in:

• Planetary health
• How climate health and healthcare impacts on the well-being of all New Zealanders
• Ensuring the health sector in Aotearoa New Zealand is equitable, and delivers high quality, patient and whanau-centred services within existing planetary boundaries.

The conference theme has a focus on mātauranga Māori, challenging our delegates to become more connected and knowledgeable and shift the paradigm towards environmental sustainability and climate resilience.

The programme will include a series of presentations interspersed with interactive and panel discussions.

Our programme will address topics of mitigation and adaptation, with a focus on opportunity, research and innovation to create a better and safer future for all New Zealanders. Time will be built into the programme to allow for reflection and conversation and for delegates to make connections with others.

Delegates will include researchers, health professionals, policymakers, architects, consultants, sustainability professionals, operational managers, suppliers, procurement agencies, board members and students – all keen to create a healthy planet with healthy people.

National and international experts and a range of stakeholders from the rich and diverse Aotearoa health and research sector will share their insights and in-depth knowledge.
