Hosted with GSK
Climate change threatens people’s lives, health and wellbeing. These impacts are not being felt equally, and reflect deep-seated inequities, such as by gender and race. For instance, those communities with poorer access to health care are most impacted by extreme weather events, and are the least able to recover quickly. Meanwhile, global warming brings new health challenges and exacerbates current ones.
We had an in-depth discussion about driving better collaboration between the too-often siloed disciplines of climate change and health. We explored real-world partnerships and leave with ideas for driving the effectiveness of your own partnerships.
