About the session

Although global warming may bring some localized benefits – such as fewer winter deaths in temperate climes or increased food production in certain areas – the overall health effects of a changing climate promise to be overwhelmingly negative. That’s because climate change will affect a wide range of social and environmental factors that influence health, and it also looks set to have a serious impact on issues like clean air, safe drinking water, food supply and housing/shelter security.
