IAP online event: Regional and Global Perspectives on Climate Change and Health: Focusing on Solutions

At this 3-hour online event, IAP will be presenting and discussing emerging findings of its ongoing global project on Climate Change and Health

Climate change adversely affects human health worldwide through multiple direct and indirect pathways. Responding to these effects requires connected strategies for mitigation (reducing greenhouse gas emissions) and adaptation (adjusting to what cannot be avoided).

This session is organised by the InterAcademy Partnership (IAP), the global network of academies of science, engineering and medicine, together with regional networks in Africa (NASAC), Asia (AASSA), the Americas (IANAS) and Europe (EASAC). The aim is to share knowledge on similarities and differences between and within regions for climate effects on health, and discuss options for adaptation and mitigation, strengthening health systems, and informing science-policy interfaces.

This event is organized as a satellite session of the 2021 Conference of the Consortium of Universities for Global Health.

The event will take place on March 3, 2021, 9am-12pm Central Time (US)/ 4-7pm CET and includes presentations, Q&A and break out group discussion.
