Climate Action Dialogues: Human Health and Well-being (Online)

Join us for the next Climate Action Dialogue on Human Health and Well-being in November 2024, where we’ll explore the outcomes for health and well-being when we take action on climate. Panelists will discuss extreme weather and public health, and the role of proactive climate action—like urban green spaces, better building designs, and robust emergency systems—in lowering these risks. The dialogue will also highlight innovative solutions in urban planning, housing, and local government efforts that improve quality of life, promote equity, and support economic growth through job creation and reduced healthcare costs.

​​​​Join experts, engage in interactive Q&A sessions, and network as we explore the outcomes of climate action and our own health and well-being.
