26th Scientific and Cultural Exhibition of Bahiana will address climate justice and health.

“(In)Justice in climate: challenges and perspectives for thinking about and doing health”. This will be the theme of the 26th Scientific and Cultural Exhibition (MCC) of BahianaThis year's event will take place on November 6th at the Cabula Campus, unlike previous years when it was held in October. The event will bring together students, faculty, staff, healthcare professionals, community leaders, traditional peoples and communities, social organizations, popular movements, and institutional partners.

The theme's proposal stems from the recognition that Black, Indigenous, Quilombola, fishing, shellfish-gathering, riverside, rural, and peripheral populations, among other historically vulnerable groups, may face greater impacts from climate change and fewer material and institutional resources to respond to these challenges. The program aims to broaden the debate on the impacts of climate change on health, considering the social, racial, economic, and territorial inequalities that cause different groups and communities to be unequally exposed to the effects of the climate crisis.

The initiative also seeks to strengthen the integration between education, service, and community, and to contribute to the training of health professionals committed to addressing the impacts of the socio-climatic crisis and to providing equitable care.
