Catalyzing Climate and Health Research Impact and Application

The NAM, along with Kaiser Permanente, will host an afternoon convening at the New York Academy of Medicine on Wednesday, September 24. This convening will bring together leaders across the climate and health space to discuss the challenges, available tools, and enticing opportunities of the health sector’s ongoing research efforts and early stages of artificial intelligence. Each of these topic areas will have major impacts on the near and distant application of our work, both on the delivery of health care as well as our ability to combat climate change. Participants attending this event will gain insights from leading experts who will underscore protecting and improving the health of patient communities as we explore new strategies to tackle the climate crisis with innovative tools, practical implementation of research, and solutions to better health outcomes for all.
