About this event

Climate change adversely affects human health worldwide through multiple direct and indirect pathways. Responding to these effects requires connected strategies for mitigation (reducing greenhouse gas emissions) and adaptation (adjusting to what cannot be avoided).

In this webinar, the InterAmerican Network of Academies of Sciences (IANAS) will present and discuss its new report “Taking action against climate change will benefit health and advance health equity in the Americas”.

This report focuses on the ways in which climate change is affecting human health throughout the Americas. How to tackle some of these effects will be the topic for discussion of a panel of experts from the region, including scientists and policy-makers.

This webinar is part of a series of four webinars in which InterAcademy Partnership (IAP) and its regional networks in Africa (NASAC), Asia (AASSA) and the Americas (IANAS), the Network of African Science Academies (NASAC) will launch their reports on tackling the effects of Climate Change on Health. The reports are the outcome of a three-year collaborative global project.

The webinar is designed to inform researchers, policy-makers and the interested public in the respective regions about effects on climate change on health and to discuss options for tackling these challenges.

El cambio climático afecta a la salud humana negativamente a nivel mundial a través de vías directas e indirectas. Responder a estos efectos requiere de estrategias concertadas para la mitigación (reduciendo las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero) y la adaptación (ajustándose a lo que no puede evitarse).

En este seminario web, la Red InterAmericana de Academias de Ciencias (IANAS) presentará y discutirá su nuevo informe: “Tomando medidas contra el cambio climático beneficiará la salud y promoverá la equidad en salud en las Américas”.

Este informe se centra en cómo el cambio climático está afectando la salud humana en las Américas. Un panel de expertos de la región, incluidos científicos y formuladores de políticas discutirán sobre cómo atacar estas consecuencias del cambio climático.

Este webinar es uno de una serie de cuatro seminarios web en los que InterAcademy Partnership (IAP) y sus redes regionales en África (NASAC), Asia (AASSA), la Red de Academias de Ciencias Africanas (NASAC) y las Américas (IANAS), lanzarán sus informes sobre el abordaje de los efectos del Cambio Climático en la Salud. Los informes son el resultado de un proyecto global colaborativo de tres años.

Este seminario está diseñado para informar a los investigadores, a los políticos y al público interesado de las respectivas regiones, sobre los efectos del cambio climático en la salud, y para discutir opciones sobre cómo enfrentar estos desafíos.
