TITLE: Climate Change, Equity, and Health

ABSTRACT: The contours of how climate variability and change are adversely impacting human health and well-being are becoming clearer. This talk will briefly highlight two projects. The first project describes building evidence for the world’s first Chief Heat Officer, Jane Gilbert, in Miami-Dade County, Florida, U.S. Extreme heat contributes to 8,000 to 12,000 excess U.S. deaths per year. This portion of the talk summarizes Miami-Dade County’s preliminary efforts to build local evidence, engage the community, and rapidly respond to extreme heat. The second portion of the talk will examine Hurricane Michael’s impact on newborn children. Hurricane Michael came ashore on the Florida Panhandle on October 10, 2018, causing widespread property destruction, storm surge, power outages, and coastal erosion. The disaster adversely impacted newborn children’s health by altering risky behaviors, decreasing access to healthcare, and adversely impacting mental health.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Cheers,

Allison
