Between 2030 and 2050, climate change is expected to cause approximately annually across the globe due to malnutrition, malaria, diarrhea, and heat stress. In addition to the human toll, scientists estimate the direct health costs to be between $2 billion to $4 billion per year by 2030.

Health professionals can play an important role in reducing these numbers by educating patients and helping to address adverse health effects from extreme heat, floods, respiratory ailments, premature births, and mental health-related issues.

During this live discussion, experts will explore practical strategies for mitigation and adaptation, and touch on how collective advocacy can drive policy change for a healthier, more resilient future. Join us!
