A Long-Term Strategy for Climate, Nature and Energy

When Climate Impacts Your Health

Speakers: Vanessa Kerry, Victor Dzau, Cheryl Moore, Shyam Bishen, Nisia Trindade Lima, Bill Anderson

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.

This session is linked to the Climate and Health Initiative of the World Economic Forum.
