Join Harvard Medical School for an event that will highlight the urgent challenges at the intersection of health and sustainability – including health inequity, climate change, biodiversity loss, antimicrobial resistance, infectious and non-communicable diseases, as well as weak health systems. These issues illustrate the inseparable links between human, animal, and ecosystem health, and underscore the need for a One Health approach to achieve effective solutions.

With only five years left to reach the Sustainable Development Goals, the event will explore how the implementation of One Health can decisively strengthen global health and sustainability efforts.

Laura A. Stevens is a geophysicist whose research focuses on hydrological drivers of ice-sheet deformation, combining a range of observational techniques and theoretical approaches to understand ice-sheet dynamics in our warming climate. At Radcliffe, Stevens is interrogating a newly collected dataset to explore whether emerging, high-elevation lakes on top of the Greenland Ice Sheet could augment this ice sheet’s contribution to sea-level rise, alongside collaborating with Harvard’s polar oceanographers to reimagine directions for the joint field of fjord-ice-sheet dynamics.
