Changes occurring in the world's climate pose significant threats to human health and well-being, and will have even greater impacts in the future. These threats are wide-ranging, including decreased air quality and increases in extreme weather events, wildfire, and illnesses transmitted by water, and disease-carriers, such as mosquitoes and ticks. Although scientific understanding of the effects of climate change is still emerging, there is considerable evidence to support preparing for potential health risks.
This session of Grand Rounds will explore the wide-ranging health impact of our changing climate and discuss some of the strategies, programs, and partnerships currently being used to confront the challenges associated with global climate change.
