The planetary health emergency is at our doorstep - but so are the opportunities for action. As health professionals, we have a vital role to play in advancing both human and planetary health.

Join us at this annual conference presented by the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment. Hear from experts leading local initiatives, connect with peers, and gain practical ideas for action in your own context. This conference is open to all health professionals. We hope you leave feeling inspired and equipped to support a healthier, more sustainable future for all.
