Background

According to the WHO, more than 4.5 million people have died, worldwide, from COVID-19. As we are increasingly facing health challenges at a global scale, the interdependence of human development and environmental health is becoming more evident. Cities are a microcosm of that global health challenge which calls for systemic solutions. Different cities, states and countries have responded to the COVID-19 pandemic in very different ways. 

The International Conference, organized by the International Science council’s global science programme on Urban Health and Wellbeing (UHWB), hosted by the Institute of Urban Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Xiamen, China will be held on November 3-4, 2021 and bring together scientists from around the world to share experiences and learn from dealing with COVID-19 in different cities, if and how systems approaches have been taken and what the outcomes have been.
