iDEA 2022 - Time to Act

Friday 2nd September – Sunday 4th September
The University of Melbourne & Virtual

Join Doctors for the Environment Australia for our highly anticipated iDEA22 conference this September.

Hear from international and Australian experts about why now is the ‘Time to Act’ for a safer climate and a healthier future for our children and grandchildren.

According to the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, it is 100 seconds to midnight and the ‘Time to Act’ is now. Doctors for the Environment Australia (DEA) have been at the forefront of raising awareness within the health sector that climate change is the biggest public health threat of the century.

Climate change is a health emergency, and has been recognised as such by WHO, Lancet, AMA, and 7 medical colleges. It is core business for the medical profession.
