Climate 101 Lecture Series: December
The Environmental Innovations Initiative's Climate 101 series demystifies climate change and its link with a diversity of disciplines. Experts from across Penn share how they think about climate through the lens of their research and teaching, helping to raise our climate literacy and prepare us to tackle one of the planet's greatest challenges: the climate crisis.
Join us for December's Climate 101 event with Farah Hussain, Associate Professor of Medicine, where she will talk about Climate Change and Human Health.
All events are Hybrid, and are held in Annenberg School for Communication, Room 300. Please register below.
The climate crisis is a health crisis. Climate change can have negative effects on almost every organ system and can exacerbate patients' underlying medical conditions. In addition, the healthcare sector itself contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions across the globe. In this talk, Dr. Hussain will provide an introduction to a few of the health consequences of climate change and what we can do to mitigate them.
