Last week, we had the privilege of attending Global Health Talk 2024, organised by Global Health Hub Germany. The event brought together diverse global health experts, policymakers, and organisations to discuss pressing global health challenges, particularly in crisis and conflict settings. It highlighted the urgent need to build resilient health systems and strengthen international collaboration. From strengthening health systems in conflict zones to tackling the mounting impacts of climate change on health, the event sparked vibrant discussions. Keynotes and panels featured global leaders like Dr. Michael Ryan (WHO) and Prof. Dr. Karl Lauterbach (German Minister of Health), who called for urgent, localised solutions and cross-sectoral collaboration. We heard Andrew Ullmann as chair of the sub-committee of the German Hub, and Dutch Global Health Hub’s partner Rosana Lescrauwaet of Cordaid share her insights during a panel on Europe’s role in global health. Rosana highlighted the critical role of civil society in advocating for sustainable solutions and building bridges between governments, academia, and NGOs. As she pointed out: “Ultimately, the success of European global health strategies depends on our ability to collaborate across sectors, countries, and even political lines. Civil society is at the cornerstones of this effort." Cross-sectoral collaboration was highlighted as a key component of global health action, making the work being done in the hubs in the Netherlands and Germany particularly significant. It was a great opportunity to be present, learn, and exchange ideas with our German colleagues. A huge thank you to the Global Health Hub Germany for hosting! #GlobalHealth #Collaboration #ClimateAndHealth #HealthSystems #Cordaid

Misinformation and disinformation are not just nuisances—they undermine trust in science, disrupt public health campaigns, and exacerbate health inequities worldwide. Addressing these issues is critical to safeguarding global health. On Wednesday, November 27, the symposium "Navigating Truths: Demystifying Mis- and Disinformation in (Global) Health" took place. The event, organised by Kenniscentrum Global Health (KCGH) and NVTG Dutch Society for Tropical Medicine & Global Health, brought together professionals, experts, and students at the Geertekerk in Utrecht to tackle these pressing challenges and explore innovative strategies and solutions. The day took off with two leading voices in the fight against misinformation: Sander van der Linden (University of Cambridge) set the tone with insights into psychological vaccination, introducing practical strategies to build resilience against false information. Dannagal Young (University of Delaware) followed with an engaging talk on the emotional and media-driven dynamics fueling misinformation, emphasising its significant impact on public health systems and trust. A special highlight of the day was the awarding of the KCGH Thesis/PhD Prize, recognising the next generation of leaders addressing global health challenges. These students are paving the way for innovative solutions to combat misinformation. Congratulations to the winners: Lennart Maljaars, Tom Jacobs, Robert Dasović, and Lara Schmale-Hüsemann Want to know more? 👉 The symposium underscored the urgency of collective action against the growing threat of misinformation to Global Health, science and, society, while equipping participants with tools and strategies to build a healthier, better-informed world. Reach out for insights from the symposium or to connect with the organizing team. Together, we can strengthen efforts to tackle misinformation in global health.

“Climate change has far-reaching effects on public health. Our mission is to ensure health is well considered in climate discussions, which has traditionally not been the case.” During the 2024 UN Climate Change Conference (COP 29), which took place from 11 to 22 November 2024 in Baku, Azerbaijan, world leaders and climate experts gathered to define a new global goal for climate finance and advance climate action. MEPs urged all countries to establish a fair and equitable climate finance goal and called on the EU to create a stable financing system to meet its climate commitments. Mieke Molthof, Policy advisor international affairs at the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS), represented the Netherlands alongside the State Secretary Vincent Karremans.
