Presented in partnership with Climate Change and Global Health Research Group, School of Public Health
Participants of this 90-minute interactive workshop will get to explore the impacts of climate change on health and equity through a series of engaging group activities. They will learn how to critically evaluate climate-health information from the media and be introduced to the distinctions between climate change mitigation and adaptation. Participants will also get the opportunity to role-play as a policymaker by developing an “action plan” for mitigating climate change while protecting and promoting people’s health and wellness.
