Climate change is impacting human health — from a warming planet to the quality of the air we breathe.

Say It With Science: Climate Change & The Threat to Our Health will explore the mental and physical health impacts of the climate crisis on human beings. The science is clear: our well-being is inextricably tied to the well-being of our planet, with many health impacts already emerging and many more anticipated in the future

This virtual event will be streamed alongside COP26, the first climate-focused in-person gathering of nearly all 193 UN Member States since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Join Say It With Science: Climate Change & The Threat to Our Health and connect with members of the COP26 community to discuss what the UN Secretary-General has called, “a code red for humanity.”
