Climate Vulnerabilities and Public Health: Risks, Responses, and Resilience

As climate change accelerates, its impacts on public health are becoming increasingly evident with children, adolescents, pregnant women, and the elderly among the most at risk. From heat stress and air pollution to food and water insecurity, climate-linked hazards are placing unprecedented strain on health systems. This session will unpack the key vulnerabilities faced by these groups and highlight practical strategies for adaptation and resilience. Participants will gain insights into how public health systems can respond effectively, reduce risks, and build long-term capacity to protect communities. The session will be led by Dr. Vikas Kaushal, a public health expert and Terra.do alumni with experience in climate resilience and health systems strengthening.
