►THE EVENT ◄
Climate change threatens to undermine the last half century of advances in global health and will potentially affect many of the social and environmental determinants of health. These impacts will be multifaceted and caused by a number of climatic stressors such as temperature, precipitation, extreme events, and sea-level rise. This lecture will provide a comprehensive overview of the impacts of climate change on human health drawing from state-of-art literature with a focus on tracking and measuring these impacts.
