description The human-induced climate crisis endangers health and the foundations of life for us humans. The professional society GMDS – German Assocation for Medical Informatics, Biometry and Epidemiology – considers itself responsible for the health in society. What does this mean in times of the climate crisis? During a workshop entitled “Climate change, digitalization and health“ at GMDS2023 in Heilbronn, action areas for GMDS as a professional society and for its members were discussed. On the micro level, for example, the necessity, the anticipated benefits for human health, and the climate consequences of planned projects should be reflected upon. On the meso level, GMDS-organized events could be made climate-neutral, for example. On the macro level, GMDS could, for example, influence funding bodies to consider climate consequences in decisions regarding research proposals. We invite everyone interested to actively participate in the planned further discussions. The establishment of a GMDS project group or working group on this topic is planned. Now is the time to take responsibility for the climate. This applies at the professional level for us personally as well as for the professional society GMDS as an institution.
