Human Health in the Face of Climate Change: Science, Medicine, and Adaptation

Organised by the New York Academy of Sciences along with the ‘la Caixa’ Foundation and BIOCAT, this multidisciplinary conference brings together climate scientists, atmospheric/oceanic scientists, ecologists, evolutionary biologists, epidemiologists, public health specialists, and policy-makers, among others. It will highlight the latest research on climate change and its subsequent effects on human health, including vulnerability due to extreme weather events, land-use change and agricultural production, variable epidemiology of parasites and infectious diseases, and climate-altering pollutants.

The deadline for submission of poster and short talk abstracts is 18 March. Registration fees paid before 10 April range from approximately EUR 220 to approximately EUR 620.
