Information
This session is part of the Health Equity Preconference Forum and additional registration is required.
In this critical session, we will explore the growing intersection of climate change, public health, and health equity. As the climate crisis deepens, its impacts are disproportionately felt by vulnerable communities, exacerbating existing health disparities. The session will examine the far-reaching consequences of climate change on public health, such as the spread of infectious diseases, mental health crises, and the strain on healthcare systems. We will also explore the emerging role of artificial intelligence (AI) in both predicting and mitigating these challenges.
