Description

A warming climate, water scarcity, pollution, and other environmental stressors are all known to increase susceptibility to disease, especially in vulnerable populations. Increasingly, it is acknowledged that the impact climate change has on human health is an issue that must be addressed holistically at the global level as well as through corporate action. Working collectively, implementing innovative technologies and sustainable policy approaches can help address these issues to help mitigate environmental impact. Join leaders as they discuss these issues and the importance of taking steps to prevent the unique health risks caused by climate change as well as the innovations needed to prevent deeper impacts in the future.
