Interested scholars please contact nyuad.programs@nyu.eduClimate change continues to increase global risks, but mitigating the causes of climate change can also have substantial human health benefits. These health beneficial mitigation measures, if identified and implemented, can be a powerful motivation for taking ambitious climate action. This conference brings together climate health benefits researchers, along with policy analysts and government representatives, in order to share what we know about these health beneficial mitigation measures, and the practical ways by which they can be implemented into governmental and societal action.
