Malaria No More/Forecasting Healthy Futures and ASTMH Global Health Subgroup

This workshop is in person only and will not be livestreamed or made available on-demand. This workshop will be capped at 24 attendees and priority will be given to ACGH Subgroup members. This Workshop is Closed.
In partnership with ACGH, Forecasting Healthy Futures, an initiative of Malaria No More, plans to host a Climate Fresk workshop as a part of a climate-health series of events for ASTMH. Through the workshop, we aim to:
1) Offer a collaborative learning experience for ACGH members and the larger ASTMH community to understand the science, causes, and consequences of climate change, based on the IPCC reports.
2) Encourage participants to engage with climate change by identifying strategic linkages to their existing body of work, and
3) Increase awareness of potential climate-health solutions that participants can incorporate into their specific work in infectious/tropical disease or health in general
More generally, we hope this workshop will help to make ACGH the voice of climate change and health within ASTMH, and to generate momentum for future climate change and health activities within ASTMH.
