Putting Health at the Heart of Climate Conversations
Kresge Building, Room 502 677 Huntington Ave BostonClimate change puts everyone at risk; yet many remain unaware of its immediate effects on their lives and how they can contribute to climate action. Clearly communicating the health implications of climate change offers a unique opportunity to bridge the psychological distance that often disconnects people from this global crisis.
