  Climate Change and Your Health          Register Here

We are all eager to slow the pace of our rising global temperatures.  The reality is that our temperatures will continue to rise even as we combat climate change, and rising global temperatures will exact a terrible toll on our health and well-being.

We can prevent needless death and suffering from the consequences of climate change if we plan for the rising temperature, and we need to start planning now.  To help us prepare for climate change and the various public health consequences, we have asked Dr. Kristie Ebi to share her research on the impact of global warming and what to do about it, and Lauren Jenks to outline the steps that Washington State’s Department of Health is taking to address this looming public health crisis.
