Community-Engaged Climate Change Solutions: Exposure Science and Intervention Research
Session moderated by Bob Wachter

Extreme weather and changing patterns of infectious diseases are occurring due to climate change, to increasingly devastating effect. In this Grand Rounds, you will learn about the myriad impacts of climate change on health from two of our own UCSF climate change experts. We’ll also discuss strategies to collaborate with communities to mitigate these impacts.
