As humans living on this planet, our fate is intimately tied to our environment. As such, we are entering the age of “Planetary Health,” understanding how the health of human civilization depends on natural systems and finding ways through science, advocacy, public health and personal health to survive and thrive in spite of climate changes.
Our speakers this week will help us better understand the many ways that climate change can affect health and how these changes affect our most vulnerable communities and patients. We will learn about how we as scientists and care providers can work towards minimizing the impact of climate change as well as advocating for policies that preserve and enhance planetary health.
