Solving the climate crisis offers potentially the largest health opportunity of our lifetime
UQ School of Public Health and Doctors for the Environment Australia are excited to host climate change and health expert, Professor Jonathan Patz, for this public lecture.
The cause of the climate crisis – burning fossil fuels – is also at the root cause of poor air quality, cities designed more for cars than for people, and unsustainable food sources. An economy less dependent of fossils, therefore, could greatly reduce disease burden, especially from non-communicable diseases. Join public health academics and medical doctors working for a health-supportive climate for an evening lecture to provide climate information, hope for beneficial solutions, and an active discussion of the largest health opportunity of our lifetime.
Professor Jonathan Patz, M.D., MPH is the inaugural director of the Global Health Institute at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a Lead Author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and co-chair of the health expert panel of the U.S. National Assessment on Climate Change.
