From extreme heat to poor air quality, flooding and hazardous weather events, climate change poses threats to health systems while exposing socioeconomic inequities and increasing infectious disease exposure, non-communicable conditions and food insecurity globally.
As the human dimension of climate change takes centre stage, what are the most promising approaches, evidence and data needed to mitigate the health impact of the climate crisis today?
This session is linked to the Climate and Health Initiative of the World Economic Forum.
Speakers: Victor Dzau, Vanessa Kerry, Shyam Bishen, Nisia Trindade Lima, Cheryl Moore, Bill Anderson
