The panel will explore the intersection of climate change and health, focusing on the critical role that health professionals play in communicating climate risks and solutions to the public. The panel will discuss evidence-based research, best practices, and challenges in engaging communities on climate-related health risks while providing resources for those aiming to improve their ability to facilitate these crucial conversations. The discussion also hopes to draw attention to the topic of social determinants of health and to the disproportionate health impact of climate change on vulnerable populations including children, immunocompromised, older adults, Indigenous populations and racialized groups.
