Lead the Change for a Greener, Fairer Future.
You are invited to the Health and Social Care Climate Emergency Leadership Day, commissioned and funded by the Welsh Government’s Health and Social Care Climate Emergency team and hosted by the Dragons Heart Institute. This one-day event is a key part of the national response to the climate emergency across health and social care in Wales.
Building on the success and momentum of the inaugural Leadership Day in February 2025, the 2026 Climate Emergency Leadership Day will once again bring together senior leaders from across NHS Wales, social care, and partner organisations to accelerate climate action and sustainability at scale.
“Everyone has a role to play and as a leader I must integrate climate action into everything we do.”
– Climate Leadership Day Attendee, 2025
What to Expect
This in-person event will spotlight the work of teams who have taken part in the Climate Emergency Spread and Scale Academy, showcasing local climate action projects from across NHS Wales and social care. These teams will present their progress, challenges, and measurable impacts.
Designed to strengthen senior leadership commitment and system-wide collaboration, the day will:
- Celebrate innovation and leadership in tackling the climate emergency
- Share evidence of what works and explore how to scale it
- Encourage collective responsibility for embedding climate resilience across the system
- Offer leaders an opportunity to actively engage with the agenda, sharing ideas, shaping action, and making individual commitments to support climate resilience in their own organisations and roles
There will also be opportunities to capture and follow up on these leadership commitments and insights after the event, helping to maintain momentum and drive continued action across Wales.

“It was inspiring to see so many projects already delivering measurable impact. We need to spread these further and faster.”
