REPORT ON ATTENDANCE AT THE ENBEL 2025 CONFERENCE, TALLINN

ILS researcher Lizzy Moonga participated in the ENBEL 2025 Conference in Tallinn, Estonia, held under the theme “Climate Change and Health. The conference brought together researchers, experts, policy makers, and other key stakeholders working at the intersection of climate change and health to exchange scientific evidence and advance dialogue on the impact of climate change on health, adaptation, societal consequences and opportunities for climate resilient development.

Representing ILS and the EU Horizon-funded GreenME project, Lizzy delivered an oral presentation on the role of nature-based solutions (green and blue spaces) in supporting mental health and human well-being. The presentation highlighted how the GreenME project is using a stakeholder co-creation approach to identify ways for improving the provision, accessibility, and use of nature-based solutions to enhance mental health equity and human well-being and generate broader socio-ecological benefits.

Participation in the conference provided opportunities to exchange scientific insights, share project insights as well as engage with European experts working at the interface of climate and health. These connections and learnings will support ongoing GreenME activities and the organisation’s broader research activities.
