Climate Change and Health: Indicators and Pathways
April 15, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Friday, April 15 @ 12:00 — 4:30 PM
The influences of weather and climate on human health are varied and increasingly alarming. Exposure to health hazards related to climate change has the capacity to affect all individuals physical and mental health and may do so by harming air, water, food and shelter on which they rely. The frequency, severity, duration, and location of weather and climate phenomena – like rising temperatures, heavy rains and droughts – are changing. This means that areas already experiencing health-threatening weather and climate phenomena are likely to experience worsening impacts. In this regard, socially and economically disadvantaged communities face the greatest risks.
Climate Change and Health: Indicators and Pathways will focus on mental health and wellbeing, climate migration and populations of concern, and social and health inequities.
This virtual event is open to health professionals and the general public.
