What does climate change have to do with your health? Find out at Climate Change and Health: Indicators and Pathways.
Halt the Harm is partnering with Physicians for Social Responsibility Pennsylvania to bring you Climate Change and Health: Indicators and Pathways, a virtual event taking place on Friday, April 15, from 12 - 4:30 PM Eastern.
The influences of weather and climate on human health are varied and increasingly alarming. Exposure to health hazards related to climate change has the capacity to affect all individuals physical and mental health and may do so by harming air, water, food and shelter on which they rely. The frequency, severity, duration, and location of weather and climate phenomena - like rising temperatures, heavy rains and droughts - are changing. This means that areas already experiencing health-threatening weather and climate phenomena are likely to experience worsening impacts. In this regard, socially and economically disadvantaged communities face the greatest risks.
Climate Change and Health: Indicators and Pathways will focus on mental health and wellbeing, climate migration and populations of concern, and social and health inequities.
This virtual event is open to health professionals and the general public.

Hello Reader, 🌱 We are planting the seeds for something exciting! Does this sound familiar to you? “Activist? I’m just a parent protecting my kids…” (Gillian, sharing her reaction to the industry’s accusations towards her work against fracking). Many of us have become activists or change-makers because life presented us with challenges that we couldn’t ignore. Standing up against the threats to our personal livelihood and our immediate communities is a visceral instinct (Ie being impacted by...
