The UK Budget 2026: A planetary health perspective
What does the UK Budget 2026 mean for climate and health? Join experts at this Centre on Climate Change and Planetary Health event to explore its implications, before panellists step into ministers’ shoes and pitch their ideas for a Planetary Health Budget to you, the audience.
The impacts of climate change and intersecting crises are exposing the dire cost of inaction. But is the UK government's response up to the challenge?
At the end of a first 100 days in office that have seen record breaking heatwaves, drought, wildfires and the emergence of a 'super' El Niño, the UK government will announce its new budget. Join the Centre on Climate Change and Planetary Health for a special reaction event.
Our panel of experts will dissect the 2026 Budget before being invited to take on the role of government minister as they propose ideas and policies across food, local government and public health. You, the audience, will then have the opportunity to champion or constructively critique the Budget and our panel’s response in an interactive Q&A.
