Conference: Community interest

The WRRC 2026 Annual Conference Water for Tech, Mining & Energy: Pathways to Arizona's Future will focus on the challenges and opportunities for water stewardship in Arizona’s commercial and industrial sectors, such as mining, energy, and technology. In addition to in-person attendance, a non-interactive free Zoom livestream will be available.

Speakers will discuss building bridges, re-imaging public health, promoting public trust, ensuring equity, and saving lives for everyone. Distinguished panelists will include former federal public health leaders who served under Republican and Democratic administrations.

The National Academy of Medicine (NAM) is hosting its third annual Climate and Health Summit, a full day hybrid event to bringing together leaders across the health sector to explore the latest insights, innovations, and opportunities at the intersection of climate and health.

This webinar will introduce a real-time drought monitoring and seasonal prediction system that integrates diverse data streams with AI-based algorithms for drought forecasting. The presenter will also discuss how drought intelligence can be expanded beyond traditional metrics by incorporating impact and vulnerability data—linking hydroclimate conditions to real-world outcomes such as crop yield losses, food insecurity, energy disruptions, and labor impacts.

The 2026 National PFAS Conference (hosted in Tucson, UA Main Campus) is uniquely designed to exchange information, provide support to PFAS-affected communities, and facilitate engagement across diverse sectors involved with PFAS to accelerate the protection of health and the environment.

The conference will showcase the interconnectedness of policy, advocacy, and Indian health best practices.

Part of of a Climate and Health Actionable Research and Translation Center (CHART) series, this webinar will highlight how pediatricians can support families in disaster preparedness more directly at the clinical level.

This two-day National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) workshop will explore innovative ways AI can enhance climate science and support decision-making for resilience and mitigationd; it will identify critical applications where AI can inform climate action at speed and scale, consider how AI’s broader societal impacts affect approaches for addressing climate change, and provide a forum for cross-sectoral dialogue.

This webinar offered by ASPPH is designed for early- and mid-career professionals interested in exploring or advancing careers at the intersection of climate and health. Speakers will discuss pathways into this field, the skills and experiences that stand out on a resume, and innovative ways to bring climate expertise to jobs not explicitly framed as climate roles.
