Climate change is reshaping global health, deepening inequities, and challenging the resilience of health systems. At the same time, public trust in health institutions is under strain. Can Artificial Intelligence bridge the gap between population-level intelligence and frontline care—or will it risk reinforcing systemic divides?

This inaugural forum brings together health executives, clinicians, innovators, and  researchers to explore how Artificial Intelligence can support climate-sensitive, inclusive, and adaptive healthcare systems. Using the integration of climate and health data as a central case study, we will examine how technology can reshape models of care, strengthen public health intelligence, and prepare the healthcare workforce.

The Forum seeks to spotlight exemplary UK-led initiatives with the potential to inform global strategies. It will also contribute to the ongoing rethinking of governance models and the development of future-fit leadership frameworks essential for stewarding AI-enabled health systems.

Objectives

1. Showcase real-world applications of AI at the intersection of health, public health, and climate
2. Promote collaboration between health system leaders, clinicians, and innovators
3. Explore regulatory frameworks and standards that support responsible, scalable adoption
4. Generate a call to action to guide the future of ethical, inclusive, AI-driven health transformation

The Forum is presented by the IEEE Standard Association Healthcare and Life Science Global Practice and the AI for Improved Public Health and Climate-Resilient Health Systems Industry Connections Program.
