Webinar: Climate Change - a Health Emergency


All are welcome to attend

Event details:
Date: 5 August 2020
Time: 5.30-7pm

In 2019, the Australian Medical Association recognized climate change as a health emergency. The World Health Organisation predicts that between 2030 and 2050, an additional 250,000 people will die due to malnutrition, diarrhoea, vector-borne diseases and extreme weather events.

This webinar will explore both current and future impacts of climate change on human health. It will also address questions such as: what does this mean for Australia? Can healthcare be more sustainable? What work and research is being done in this space? How can you make a difference?

In this webinar with Q&A, you will hear from:
  • Prof Tony Capon - Director, Monash Sustainable Development Institute
  • Prof Yuming Guo - Head of Monash Climate, Air Quality Research Institute
  • Fiona Armstrong - Director, Climate and Health Alliance
  • Dr Rhonda Garad - Senior lecturer and research fellow, & Greens Candidate
