- **Event Description**: Did you know that climate change is the biggest health threat facing humanity?

How will climate change impact family and community health? Is the health sector prepared for the challenges ahead?

In its infancy, climate change was an environmental concern for future generations. Now we are experiencing a human health emergency, where healthcare systems have joined forces with our planet to beg us for immediate climate action.

The World Health Organisation says that environmental factors take the lives of around 13 million people annually, with causes including increased air pollution, disease, extreme weather events, forced displacement, food insecurity and pressures on our mental health.

Join an international panel of experts for this Global Climate Change Week discussion about climate change and health. Discover the impacts on the most vulnerable in our community, find out about sector efforts to reduce carbon emissions and discuss adaptive strategies to plan for and mitigate future climate-driven health disasters.
