Climate Emergency: Taking Action on Planetary Health

About the Event

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!

We are pleased to announce that the annual Climate Emergency conference, hosted by the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE), is back this fall in virtual format. This year, the topics will be focused on taking action on planetary health.

Why is this conference important and why is it relevant to you?

The World Health Organization has stated that the climate crisis is the biggest health concern of the 21st century and the Lancet has said that fighting climate change could be the greatest global health opportunity. If we do not make major changes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the next 10 years, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicts catastrophic effects on the environment and human health. This conference will inspire everyone in health care roles to better understand these issues and advocate for necessary systemic change.

Who should join?

This conference will be of interest to physicians, medical learners, nurses, and other health professionals.
