Members of the WM-Net Zero team attended the 18th Annual UK & Ireland Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Conference, hosted at Space Park Leicester on 3 July 2025.
Dr Suzanne Bartington, WM-Net Zero project co-lead, delivered a presentation on the “Assessment of health and economic co-benefits of net-zero policy pathways: development of a multi-methods policy appraisal toolkit for the West Midlands region.”
The presentation showcased ongoing efforts to integrate air quality, health, and economic evidence into regional policy planning for transport decarbonisation.
Dr Bartington was joined by colleagues Dr James Hall, PhD student Abeer Albdour, Dr Chee Yang Chung, and Shi Chang, who took part in a day of knowledge exchange with academic and public health professionals from across the UK and Ireland.
The conference provided a valuable platform to share insights from WM-Net Zero and to engage with a growing community working at the intersection of climate, health, and environmental policy.
