Climate change is one of the defining health challenges of our time. Join us for Protecting Health in a Changing Climate, a thought-provoking webinar exploring what a changing climate means for our health, our communities and the future of healthcare.

The webinar will bring together Associate Professor Zerina Lokmic-Tomkins and Dr Gongbo Chen to explore the latest evidence on climate-related health impacts, with a particular focus on vulnerable populations, maternal and child health, community resilience and the Asia-Pacific region.

The discussion will consider areas that can receive less attention in conversations about climate and health, including the impacts of climate change on pregnancy, early childhood and long-term health outcomes, as well as the increasing pressures climate-related events place on healthcare services.

What we'll explore

Climate-related health risks across the Asia-Pacific region, including impacts on vulnerable populations, maternal and child health, pregnancy and early childhood.

Building climate-resilient healthcare systems and communities.
The role of health professionals in preparing for and responding to a changing climate.
