Event Details

Climate change is currently the greatest threat to human health and requires innovative solutions to support health and environmental goals. This panel will examine the impacts of climate change on health, adaptation measures by health systems and how the health sector can contribute to mitigating climate change by reducing emissions. Panellists will discuss firsthand experience responding to climate-driven cholera epidemics in Bangladesh, planning and supporting policies for malaria elimination in the face of climate change and developing a world-class net zero emission health service in the United Kingdom. The programme will include a moderated discussion amongst panellists, followed by a Q&A with audiences.
