We re-scheduled the 10th Conference to a virtual meeting on the 1st and 2nd of December. Presentations have been accessible for two months. There was a multidisciplinary audience from science, health, environment, risk assessment, social and many other domains. We celebrated very modestly the 10th Conference of INCHES since 1998. But besides celebrating we are also concerned about the state of the planet, of the health of children and the future of vulnerable groups. Therefore we did focus this year on climate change and new emerging challenges in children’s environmental health. INCHES joined the COP26 in Glasgow and collaborated with a great group of health professionals. We tried to get health into the reports of the COP26 but still too many delegations are not aware enough about all the health consequences of the climate change. Come and particpate with INCHES to prepare for the COP27 in 2022. We can use all the expertise and efoort in the period upto the actual meeting in November 2022.
The 10th International Conference on Children’s Health and the Environment, was held 1 -2 December 2020. It was the first ever conference online for INCHES. We thank all the participants for their excellent contributions.
