Surviving Climate Change: What's the Future of our Health?
- Hosted by Manny's
- San Francisco, CA -
The planet is on fire, the weather is changing, and the water is rising. What is happening with the climate?
Ties between the climate and our health are old as time, but modern data and methods help illuminate exactly how serious those effects can be. In this talk, Prof. Anttila-Hughes provides an overview of what we know about how the climate impacts child health, outlining the many ways agriculture, sanitation, disease, and other factors influenced by the climate threaten health around the world.
A particular concern is what these effects mean in a changing climate, and Prof. Anttila-Hughes marshals recent evidence on El-Niño to outline how the global community should respond as climate change worsens through the 2020s."
