CCEH and WHO ACE Conclude Regional Forum on Health Impact Assessment and Environmental Health

The Centre for Climate Change and Environmental Health (CCEH) at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) was honoured to co-organise the Regional Action Forum on Health Impact Assessment and the Synergistic Effects of Air Pollution and Heat with the World Health Organization (WHO) Asia-Pacific Centre for Environment and Health (ACE) from 15–17 June 2026. The Forum brought together leading researchers, policymakers, public health practitioners, and representatives from Member States across the Western Pacific Region to exchange knowledge and strengthen regional collaboration on the health impacts of air pollution, extreme heat, and climate change.

The Forum featured keynote presentations, technical sessions, policy dialogues, country case studies, and interactive workshops exploring the latest scientific evidence, health impact assessment methodologies, environmental monitoring, and policy solutions. Opening remarks were delivered by Prof. Christian Wolfrum, Deputy President and Provost of NTU Singapore, while the Forum was jointly led by Prof. Steve Yim, Director of CCEH, and Dr. Sandro Demaio, Director of WHO ACE, reflecting a shared commitment to translating scientific evidence into effective environmental health policies and actions. 

CCEH extends its sincere appreciation to WHO ACE, the Tsao Family Foundation, distinguished speakers, delegates, and participants whose valuable contributions made the Forum a success. As the event concludes, CCEH looks forward to continuing its collaboration with WHO and regional partners to advance research, strengthen evidence-based policymaking, and support healthier, more climate-resilient communities across Asia and beyond.
