Climate Justice and Health Equity: International Conference on Climate Emergency and Health
be-cause health
While the world struggles with the COVID-19 pandemic, the accelerating health crisis, induced by the climate emergency, requires our even more urgent attention. No community – much more so for a poor than a rich one – is immune from the health impacts of climate change. People around the world face increasing extremes of heat, food and water insecurity, and changing patterns of infectious and chronic diseases. Unless urgent action is taken, the health impacts of the climate emergency will bring further disruption, threaten lives and livelihoods and compromise the health systems we depend on.
The conference brings together different stakeholders to learn and exchange on how to address this emergency in their health activities and programmes.
Join us in our search to transform our societies to a circular and socially just economic system that respects the planetary boundaries.
Simultaneous interpretation between English and French will be provided.
Participation is free, but registration is obligatory. Registrations for the conference at ITM are limited and the hybrid event will be organised according to the then-current COVID 19 regulations.
Register at the latest by 15 November (on a first come first serve basis for the part at the ITM) and by 22 November (for the online part).
