Climate change has direct impacts on human health through climate-induced food and water insecurities, displacement, and pollution. We must consider that the impacts are not equally distributed among people of varying race, gender, and income.
These issues and the intersection of climate change, human health, and justice will be explored during the 2022 Climate Change Confernece presented by the School of Environmental Sustainability at Loyola University Chicago. Registration is required for this free virtual conference.
