Climate Change and Health: Fostering Community Resilience in a Changing Policy Landscape

​This panel of public health experts will explore the direct and indirect health impacts of climate change, including the increased prevalence of heat-related illnesses, the spread of vector-borne diseases, respiratory issues, and mental health concerns due to extreme weather events and displacement, with a focus on vulnerable populations. The panel will also discuss strategies for safeguarding public health through climate mitigation and adaptation amid a rapidly shifting policy landscape.

​This event is sponsored by the GW Climate and Health Institute, the Research and Engagement for Action on Climate and Health (REACH) Center, and the Sustainability Research Institute at the Alliance for a Sustainable Future. A climate-friendly lunch will be provided.
