CLIMATE CHANGE AND HEALTH IN THE GULF SOUTH
A symposium on Community, Research, Design, and Action
Climate change poses a significant danger to human health in both the short and long term. In the U.S., that threat is especially grave for the Gulf Coast. Over the next several years, the Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine intends to take on the issue of climate change and the myriad health impacts anticipated.
To kick off the school’s efforts, the school will hold a symposium on Tuesday, April 2. Entitled “Climate Change and Health: A Symposium on Community, Research, Design, and Action,” the symposium brings together public health researchers in several disciplines, community groups, and architecture faculty to discuss where we are and how to proceed going forward.
