Climate change poses an urgent challenge and opportunity for public health preparedness in Connecticut and around the world. Faced with growing climate-related health risks from heat, extreme events, vector-borne diseases, and air pollution, Connecticut is taking action to ensure all residents are safe, healthy, and resilient in a changing climate. Join the inaugural Connecticut Symposium on Climate Change and Health to learn about the health impacts of climate change in Connecticut and how the state is rising to the challenge through evidence-based initiatives, strategic partnerships, and multisectoral collaboration – and how you can get involved.

Presenters will include representatives of the Connecticut Department of Public Health, the Yale Center on Climate Change and Health, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions and interact with the presenters. The agenda will be posted here by late February.
