GPHW2022:

Climate Change Impacts on Health and the Role of Anticipatory Action

Theme: Reversing Climate Disaster

Date and Time: 05 April 2022 | 12:00 – 12:45 (CEST)

Event Description: Extreme climate and weather events have been the focus of many anticipatory action initiatives to date but there are increasing opportunities to anticipate and act ahead of other hazards such as epidemics and disease outbreaks, which are also drivers of human suffering and loss. This talk, given by Tilly Alcayna, will explore some recent assessments of climate change impacts on health (including infectious disease transmission, NCDs, and health systems) conducted across several Asia-Pacific countries and also explore some of the potential hydro-meteorological triggers which may be contributing to driving outbreaks of climate sensitive infectious diseases.
