‘Public Health Voices’ is an event series, open to all, which aims to engage with and showcase the importance of interdisciplinarity in public health research and training.
Our first event will be a chance to explore: climate change, health and justice.
The WHO states that climate change is the ‘single biggest health threat facing humanity’. Climate change affects the social and environmental determinants of health - clean air, safe drinking water, sufficient food and secure shelter. From 6-18 November, Heads of State, ministers and negotiators, along with climate activists, academics, mayors, civil society representatives and CEOs will meet in Egypt at the 27th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP27), the largest annual gathering on climate action. With so much climate action occurring globally this is one of the most important climate summits in history.
Come and hear from the UCL Faculty of Population Health Sciences’ experts who attended COP27, as they discuss climate change, health and justice, and what needs to be done to take action towards achieving the world's collective climate goals as agreed under the Paris Agreement and the Convention.
