Workshop

Health Impacts from Climate Change: The Importance of Public Health Partnerships

calendar
Sep 11th, 2016 - Sep 16th, 2016
location
Aspen

This workshop will provide an environment that encourages participants to explore fully the emerging linkages between increasing frequency of high temperature and humidity and increasing regional mortality and morbidity of humans and other species. The driving force behind our effort is to form a climate health partnership in the form of a multidisciplinary consortium to collaborate across disciplinary boundaries in topics directly related to the increasing impact of climate change on human health. Participants are likely to include physicians, climatologists, geneticists, medical anthropologists, epidemiologists and clinical trialists, as well as individuals interested in the effects of climate change on agriculture, nutrition, economics and government policy. This workshop will be useful in the development of future professional activities and collaboration.
