POLITICO's Global Impact: Climate Change and Our Health

This event is presented by:

From poor air quality and flooding to extreme heat and years-long droughts, devastating weather events take a physical, emotional, and financial toll on populations across the globe and here in the U.S. especially in marginalized communities. Are increased extreme weather events leading to a rise in health issues? Should those issues be looked at holistically or separately?

Join POLITICO on Thursday, April 11 for a conversation examining links between catastrophic weather events and medical challenges, and how industry and government can better collaborate to tackle disparities at the intersection of climate change and health care.
