‘Shaping Health and Climate through Cooperation’ (GeKo-Win) aims to co-create an implementation plan for the Winterthur Climate Week 2027, with a focus on health and climate.

The project takes a cross-cutting approach to the topic of planetary health, focusing in particular on the links between climate and health. At its heart is the question of how the issues of health and climate can be addressed together in such a way as to generate concrete, practical and transferable approaches for Winterthur. The annual Winterthur Climate Week provides an ideal platform for this and offers a way to engage with the public. It demonstrates how climate protection and adaptation can be planned, implemented and experienced in concrete terms – and creates low-threshold points of contact to link climate risks with people’s personal living environments. A practice- and science-based concept is being developed in collaboration with the City of Winterthur’s Climate Office, teachers, students in health professions at ZHAW Health, and the general public.
