Summer Series | Health and Climate Change: The health emergency
LOCATION
Summer Series | A fresh look at the RMetS virtual meetings of this season.
The RMetS Summer Series showcased previous virtual meetings by re-sharing the recordings from the events. You can watch these for free alongside other fellow academics and enthusiasts.
The Series will ran during lunch times, providing a refreshing break every Wednesday in July and August.
If you have any questions regarding the Summer Series, please email meetings@rmets.org.
This is a showing of a previous Yorkshire Local Centre event by Alexis Percival.
ABSTRACT | As our climate changes through the mounting impact of global warming, the impacts are being felt on human health. From heat waves, flooding and increased rainfall to increased cancer cases, heat deaths, kidney failure, mass migration and more pandemics, we will explore the health issues that climate change are already wreaking on populations across the planet as well as the challenges health systems will face in the future. Weather will play a major role in global migration and the world economy as well as the international human health.
Alexis Percival is the Environmental and Sustainability Manager at Yorkshire Ambulance Service as well as the Climate Change lead for the Humber Coast and Vale Integrated Care System. She works closely with Health Declares, Leeds Climate Commission and the Greener NHS programme to drive forward carbon emission reductions, regionally and nationally.
The Climate Emergency is a Health Emergency: we need to act now to protect our planetary health in the future.
