MJA-Lancet Countdown on health and climate change: 2019 Report Launch in Canberra
Presented by ANU College of Health & Medicine
PLEASE NOTE VENUE HAS MOVED TO INNOVATIONS THEATRE
Climate change has emerged as a defining public health challenge of the 21st century. Find out how Australia has progressed on this challenge in 2019, and what action is still needed to prevent significant risk of decline in human health. Hear from health experts, and be involved in our panel discussion.
The MJA-Lancet Countdown is a comprehensive assessment of progress on climate change and health in the context of the Paris Agreement. Australia is part of this global initiative to track progress, and examines a range of indicators within the Australian context. The talks and panel discussion will conclude by 5pm, and you are invited to stay on and enjoy drinks and nibbles.
The event is hosted by the National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health at the Research School of Population Health.
