The 46th East Asian Medical Students’ Conference (EAMSC) will be held in Egypt from January 15th to 19th, 2025, with the theme of “Climate Change, Global Warming, and Human Health: Impacts, Vulnerability, and Public Health.” This theme is particularly relevant in today’s world, as the effects of climate change become increasingly apparent and severe. The conference aims to address the pressing issue of global warming, driven by rising greenhouse gas concentrations, and its significant impacts on human health.

Climate change is no longer just an environmental concern; it is a growing health crisis. The conference will delve into how rising temperatures, changing weather patterns, and extreme weather events are affecting human health across the globe. This includes the rise of heat-related illnesses, the spread of vector-borne diseases to new regions, deteriorating air quality leading to respiratory issues, increased water scarcity and waterborne diseases, and food insecurity and malnutrition. These issues are particularly acute in vulnerable populations, but they pose a threat to everyone. 

Drawing on Egypt's unique position at the crossroads of Africa and Asia, the conference seeks to foster international collaboration across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. EAMSC 2025 will serve as a platform for medical students to examine responses to climate change at personal, local, national, and global levels. It will also explore the morbidity, mortality, public health impacts, and mental health repercussions associated with climate change. By prioritizing  medical practitioners with the knowledge and tools needed to address these challenges. Through these articulated objectives, EAMSC 2025 endeavors to raise awareness, deliberate on pertinent issues, and explore viable solutions, preparing future medical practitioners to confront the health impacts of climate change and work towards a sustainable and healthier future for all
