In the lead up to COP26, Health and Human Rights in the Climate Crisis: Charting Challenges and Solutions showcased the research, policies and practice of experts in the fields of public health, climate science, law and human rights to support global developments to address climate change.
Drawing on our shared experiences of increasing climate threats, including fire, floods and temperature rises, the conference served as a call to global governments to take urgent steps that recognise the link between the increasing burden on under-resourced public health systems, the exploitation of the natural world and altered climatic conditions.
The event took the form of a series of keynote addresses, panel discussions and workshops over the period of 21-29 October, 2021
