Climate Change and Public Health: Practical Policy and Action

Wed, 21/10/2009 - 17:00 - 18:00
Webcast

Join contributors from The Health Practioner’s Guide to Climate Change– the first book to set out what health practitioners can do to prevent the worst impacts of climate change – for a practical, action-oriented Earthcast.

Ian Roberts, Mike Gill and Mala Rao will look at health policy in relation to climate change, both in the developed and developing world, and the crucial role that health professionals have to play in the run-up to Copenhagen.

They will provide practical guidance on how to influence everything from international policy to community health strategies, and you will have the opportunity to have your questions answered by our expert panel.
