YSPH Climate Change and Health Seminar w/ Cathryn Tonne: "Tracking Progress Towards Protecting Health Through Climate Change Action"

Join YCCCH for a conversation on the health co-benefits of climate mitigation. Cathryn Tonne, Professor at the Barcelona Institute for Global Health, is an environmental epidemiologist focusing on the health effects of air pollution from traffic and household sources. Her research has investigated exposure patterns and health effects of air pollution in high- as well as low- and middle-income countries and the health co-benefits of climate change mitigation via air pollution reductions. This seminar will focus on the health co-benefits of climate change mitigation in the CATALYSE project and beyond, and efforts to track progress toward protecting health through climate change action through the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change in Europe.
