January 27, 2024
Our high level panel at the SDG Tent in January 2024 looked at the connection between the impacts of climate change and Global Health Risks. Polar warming is accelerating at an alarming rate, creating increasingly extreme knock-on effects all over the world. These effects – drought, flooding, extreme temperature change, biodiversity loss, and much more – directly impact our health.
Speakers: Dr. Catherine Sorbara, Dr. Arthi Ramachandran, Simon Van Wyk, Vanessa Grant, Professor Alexandra Gerbasi, Jemilah Mahmood, Gill Einhorn, Angela Zhong, Renata Koch Alvarenga
