Climate change is a public health challenge that impacts our health, nutrition, and food sources. There are also significant impacts from rising sea levels, flooding, hurricanes, and wildfires. There is a growing understanding on the effects of climate change that are causing complex health challenges in the community. In this Massachusetts General Hospital Blum Center presentation from November 29, 2022, we offer an overview of the many challenges that we face in a climate-changing world.

The Climate Change and Health Series is a collaboration among the Maxwell & Eleanor Blum Patient and Family Learning Center, the Mass General Center for the Environment and Health, and the MGH Institute of Health Professions Center for Climate Change, Climate Justice, and Health.
