Climate change has profound implications on human health. Complacency is not an option. While there has been promising progress and growing interest in the connection between climate change and health, we must close the climate and health action gap – now.
On September 23, Kaiser Permanente and the World Economic Forum will host the next critical conversation in our Connecting Climate Change and Health panel series: Closing the Action Gap.
At this event, hear from top experts at the front line of climate emergencies, whose insights will guide concrete actions for health systems, communities, policymakers, and corporations alike, and learn how you can help translate ideas into action using practical tools and research.
