How is climate changing affecting us today and how will it impact our future? This talk will focus on the wide-range of public health threats posed by climate change, including the rapid spread of vector-borne diseases, the threat to human life from ‘wet bulb temperatures’, increased exposure to water-borne diseases and toxins, and added stress to mental health. Ms. Hill will offer policy perspectives on what should be done to address the growing threats both internationally and nationally, as well as describe promising practices and solutions to the most immediate challenges.
