• Human Health

The scientific community recognises the growing need to better understand the multi-faceted and complex linkages between global change (including climate change, land and sea use change, global biodiversity loss and change, global socio-economic change) and human health. With its wide network of scientists involved in global environmental change research, ESSP is well positioned to take up this challenge, and is launching a new project in partnership with the World Health Organisation.

Day 2 Evening Session, NEW ESSP JOINT PROJECT LAUNCH: Global environmental change and human health: A strategy for International research and capacity building; Plenary Session Day 2, Global environmental change and human health: Issues and research needs. Parallel Session 14, Environmental change and disease emergence: Predictive approaches to a global problem. Parallel Session 15, Urbanization, global environmental change, and human health: Challenges and prospects for sustainable development. Parallel Session 20, How does global environmental change affect health and how can we measure it? Human Health Experts: Ulisses Confalonieri, Peter Daszak, Tony McMichael, Karen Seto (urbanisation)
