Webinar

In this webinar, Dr. Jeannette Ickovics explores multi-sector and transdisciplinary approaches to supporting health in a changing climate. Dr. Ickovics, Director of the Program on Climate Change and Urban Health at the Yale Center on Climate Change and Health, draws expertise from a range of disciplines including epidemiology and economics; architecture and medicine; environmental science and global affairs. She will discuss how cities play a key role in advancing preventive approaches to: support health, build resilience, and decarbonize health systems.

This monthly series hosted by the NIH Office of Data Science Strategy (ODSS) highlights researchers who have taken existing data and found clever ways to reuse the data or generate new findings. This seminar features two presentations: Data-sharing and Resources to Accelerate Health and Extreme Weather Research - and - Geospatial Tools for Large Scale Environmental and Human Health Analyses.

Join the Medical Society Consortium on Climate & Health for this webinar featuring Catherine Coleman Flowers, Founding Director of the Center for Rural Enterprise and Environmental Justice (previously the Alabama Center for Rural Enterprise). Dr. Flowers will explore the intersection of water, health, environmental justice, and community leadership, highlighting community-driven solutions, advocacy, and equitable approaches that can strengthen health outcomes and resilience.

Drawing on perspectives from infectious disease, ecology, environmental change, and global health, this panel discussion will explore how drought, extreme rainfall, biodiversity loss, habitat encroachment, and shifting species interactions can influence disease dynamics and increase opportunities for zoonotic spillover. Speakers will also discuss the broader public health implications of fragmented international cooperation, underinvestment in preparedness systems, and accelerating global connectivity.

This session is the third in a NASEM three-part series on Wildfire Preparedness, Response, and Recovery: Health System Resilience in the Era of Complex Wildfire Risk, which will convene a cross-sector group of leaders and experts to examine long-term health impacts, recovery challenges, and strategies to support community recovery and strengthen resilience to future wildfire risk.

This session is the second in a NASEM three-part series on Wildfire Preparedness, Response, and Recovery: Health System Resilience in the Era of Complex Wildfire Risk, which will convene a cross-sector group of leaders and experts to examine operational challenges, real-time decision-making, and strategies to maintain continuity of care and protect communities during wildfire events.

This webinar briefing is designed for business leaders who recognize a new set of workforce challenges that cut across every function related to extreme weather events — from rising healthcare costs and unplanned absences to employee financial strain, mental health impacts, and operational disruptions.

In this webinar from the National Academies Climate Conversations: Pathways to Action series, Renee Salas (The Cooperative at Mass General Brigham) will moderate a conversation between Katie Hayes (George Mason University) and Burcin Ikiz (EcoNeuro) on how climate change is shaping brain and mental health outcomes and how research, policy, and strategies can better respond to these risks moving forward.

This NASEM-hosted meeting will bring together scientific and industry perspectives to examine extreme weather events and their impacts and to explore pathways toward sustainable, equitable solutions.
