Launch of global report on Climate Change and Health

Climate change is a global health crisis. The scale, nature and timing of adverse effects on physical and mental health, via direct and indirect pathways, vary within and between regions. Yet, there are common challenges that must be tackled by better integrated solutions for mitigation (reducing greenhouse gas emissions) and adaptation (adjusting to what cannot be avoided).

In a three-year global project the InterAcademy Partnership (IAP) has worked together with its regional networks in Africa (NASAC), Asia (AASSA) and the Americas (IANAS) to capture diversity in evaluating evidence from their own regions to inform policy for collective and customised action at national, regional and global levels.

In this 2-hour online webinar, the InterAcademy Partnership will present and discuss its new global report 'Health in the climate emergency: a global perspective'.
