Climate-driven risks demand faster and smarter responses
Climate-driven risks demand faster and smarter responses
Climate-driven events continue to intensify public health risks and place greater pressure on health systems and public service delivery. At the same time, many institutions still face gaps in interdisciplinary collaboration, policy translation, ethical AI use, and capacity-building—particularly in low- and middle-income settings.
ICIAH 2026 responds to these challenges by connecting disciplines and translating research into practical methods, shared frameworks, and actionable recommendations. Through discussions on AI, data analytics, climate science, and public service, the conference aims to strengthen evidence-based and anticipatory approaches to resilient systems.

Platform
Making interdisciplinary exchange more accessible
To expand access to knowledge-sharing and interdisciplinary exchange, ICIAH 2026 will adopt a fully online format. By reducing travel and participation costs, the conference opens opportunities for researchers, practitioners, students, and institutions—especially those from resource-constrained settings—to participate in global conversations and build collaborations beyond geographic and economic barriers.
