In this webinar, held on 29 June 2023, Mark Nieuwenhuijsen presents the Urban Burden of Disease Policy project, led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal).

This European project aims to improve the estimation of health impacts and socio-economic costs and/or benefits of environmental stressors, advance methodological approaches and foster their acceptance as common good practice for urban areas, to help strengthen evidence-based policy making at city, national and EU level. 

UBD Policy will focus on nearly 1,000 cities and environmental stressors including air pollution, noise, temperature/heat and lack of green space. The project will also include physical activity as a main determinant of health and examine the effects of gender and inequality in the impact estimations.

Speaker:
Mark Nieuwenhuijsen, Research Professor and Director of the Urban Planning, Environment and Health Initiative at ISGlobal.

Recording Date:
29 June 2023.
