Pioneer Presents: Human Health in a Changing Climate
Join us for this exciting Pioneer Presents event to hear from experts working to ensure we are prepared for the effects that climate change will bring to our health.
Climate change is impacting health in a myriad of ways, including by leading to death and illness from increasingly frequent extreme weather events, such as heatwaves, storms and floods, the disruption of food systems, increases in infections and food, water and vector-borne diseases, and mental health issues. We need to be ready to deal with an uncertain climatic future and respond to health emergencies quickly.
