Climate Change and Health

Presentation by Professor Alex Macmillan on "Climate Change and Health". Climate change is the greatest threat to public health facing us, with deeply unjust health effects already unfolding, including in Aotearoa. On the other hand, well-designed and timely action can bring tangible win-wins for health and fairness. Alex summarised some of the most recent climate health research in Aotearoa, providing accessible summaries for use in climate citizenship and action. Alex also talked more about what a “just transition” means through a public health lens, and what’s standing in the way of a healthy and just climate response.
