WHAT IS IT?
The Global Health calendar, or GH calendar, is a tool that will centralize information about events occurring worldwide related to Global Health, so you can easily access them and you don’t miss anything! The events will be published by us, but you can contribute in filling the calendar with GH events of your interest. We want this tool to be easily accessible, practical, updated and collaborative.
It is important to note that we do not organize the events found in this calendar. The ones organized by the Global Health Next Generation Network are found in Events.
This means that we cannot ensure that this events will happen, and we do not take responsibility if they are cancelled. We also want to make clear that we are not receiving any gains from promoting these events.
HOW CAN YOU CONTRIBUTE?
You can contribute to the GH calendar by sending us events you find interesting in the form found below, as long as they are within the scope of Global Health. We’ll review them and publish them on the calendar.
At the same time, you can also add comments giving your opinion of past events you have attended, either if you knew about them thanks to our tool or not. You will find the comments form soon in this page.

9:00 am: Sustainable Investment Forum9:00 am: Sustainable Investment Forum – Title:Sustainable Investment Forum Organizers: Climate Action in partnership with UNEP FI Description: Europe, in particular the EU, can pave the way to a sustainable recovery beyond COVID-19. Europe’s regulatory and societal climates have encouraged and accelerated coherent sustainable investment growth strategies for the EU. They continue to represent a unique opportunity for governments to reshape a sustainable future world, and for private and institutional investors to access attractive responsible ESG investment propositions to support ESG and global sustainable finance. Due to the volatile nature of the COVID-19 crisis, there is an urgent need to identify and model risks that companies did not consider prior to the pandemic, to encourage private and institutional investors to invest in more purposeful projects using enhanced de-risking mechanisms offered by increased EU-backed guarantees. With a mandate for embedding environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks in their investment strategies, many are expecting the Biden administration will trigger growth in demand in ESG investing. The Forum will discuss what are the implications of this growth for Europe, and will this see a decisive move towards a common approach to cross border carbon taxes in Europe and North America.

Language: ENG Registration: Free/ Need to previous register Online 12:00 pm: Global Health in a Changing Climate12:00 pm: Global Health in a Changing Climate – Title: Global Health in a Changing Climate Organizers: KAN Party and IFMSA Description: What is the relation between health and climate change? And how does biodiversity loss play into that? The COVID-19 crisis is just one current example reiterating the importance of these interaction. KAN Party and IFMSA have organised a symposium to learn about these topics and address why they are not yet part of the health-related curricula at Maastricht University. The symposium will include keynote speakers from Harvard University, The Lancet Countdown, the WHO, Dutch and German Universities who will elaborate on the different aspects and perspectives of the relationship between health and climate change. During a short workshop, you will also get to learn about the links between biodiversity and psychology in an interactive way. At the end of the second day, a panel discussion will take place on how we can incorporate the discussed aspects in all health-related curricula at UM. With these ideas, we hope to further push our university to act and adapt our education to our current and future challenges. This event was partly made possible by the UM Promotion Fund, and the Universiteitsfonds Limburg.
