Dear Colleagues,
We are proud to invite you to the 4th electronic conference, with the topic of Climate Change and Health in a broad perspective.
This means that we invite papers on a wide variety of health consequences of climate change in all regions of the world. The health effects could be very different if we increase the temperature from 5 to 10 °C compared to an increase from 35 to 40 °C. If we look at the mortality causes associated with climate change, the burden is obviously higher in tropical areas. However, if we add morbidity and complications for, e.g., reproductive health and pregnancy care, the situation might be very different. The spread of infectious diseases related to vector migration is also a very important topic, as is the situation of environmental exposure to contaminants and occupational health. We leave these topics to you with an open mind. Please participate and contribute to a high-quality conference with good science, and good and important messages to stakeholders and policy-makers around the world. We wish you a warm welcome to our electronic conference.
Relevant topics could include:
Reproductive Health and Climate Change
Vector Migration from a Climate Perspective
COVID-19 from a Climate Perspective
The Forgotten Tropical Diseases from a Climate Perspective
Cardiovascular Diseases and Climate Change
Occupational Health and Temperature Change
We are also open to alternative topics of high scientific quality.
Kind regards,
Prof. Dr. Jon Øyvind Odland
Chair of the 4th International Electronic Conference on Environmental Research and Public Health
