An executive summary written by the Uppsala Health Summit Programme Committee chair Karin Artursson summarizes the chapters in the report.

Our next summit!
We are excited to announce that the theme for Uppsala Health Summit 2023 will be Chemical Pollution and One Health: from Reactivity to Proactivity.
As the world’s population approaches 8 billion and our use of intensifies, chemical pollution is ever more pervasive and persistent. Chemicals
are everywhere in our lives; in packaging, clothing, cosmetics, the air we
breathe, the water we drink and in the environment that produces our food.
