UHC Invited Speaker Series: Dr. Joan Ballester

Wednesday, January 13, 2027

11:00 AM-12:00 PM

In the first edition of the Urban Health Collaborative's Invited Speaker Series for 2027, the UHC invites Joan Ballester, PhD. Dr. Ballester is a research professor at the Barcelona Institute for Global Health, where he studies the links between climate, environmental conditions, and human health.

His research focuses on climate-related health risks, population vulnerability and adaptation, and the development of impact-based early warning systems that translate weather, climate, and environmental forecasts into actionable public health information.

He leads the European Research Council (ERC)-funded EARLY-ADAPT project, which investigates how populations across Europe are adapting to the health challenges posed by climate change and how these responses differ across countries, regions, cities, and social groups.
