A panel of experts will discuss the health impacts of climate change in a webcast titled Heatwaves: Our Health Under Stress, scheduled for Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at 7:30 PM on the Inserm YouTube channel. The discussion is part of a new episode of 30 Minutes Health, a series that explores various health-related topics through expert conversations. The event will cover the effects of rising temperatures and other climate-related phenomena, such as extreme weather, droughts, heatwaves, forest fires, and loss of biodiversity, on public health. These environmental changes are increasingly being linked to a range of health challenges, from physical conditions like cardiovascular diseases to mental health issues. The panel will explore how environmental changes contribute to major health issues, including heart-related conditions and mental health disorders. This discussion comes at a time when scientists and public health officials are paying closer attention to the connections between climate change and human well-being. The event aims to provide a clearer understanding of how climate-related stressors affect different populations and what steps can be taken to mitigate these effects. Participants in the webcast include Basile Chaix, a research director at Inserm and environmental epidemiologist, who has studied the health impacts of environmental factors for many years. Xavier Jouven, a cardiologist and public health epidemiologist, will bring expertise on how climate conditions affect heart health. Inès Masurel, a doctoral student researching health, environment, and climate, will contribute insights from her ongoing studies on how climate change influences public health outcomes. The webcast is expected to provide valuable information for healthcare professionals, researchers, and the general public interested in understanding the complex relationship between climate change and health. By bringing together experts from different fields, the event aims to highlight the importance of addressing climate-related health risks through research, policy, and public awareness.
