APHD Colloquium: Climate Change, Mental Health, and Brain Health - Implications from In Utero to Youth
How climate risks shape brain and mental health from prenatal development through adolescence.
Climate change disasters are becoming more frequent in Canada and globally. Children and youth living in regions directly affected are living with the serious consequences of climate change, including displacement, food and housing insecurity, disease, domestic or family violence, and pollution exposure.
This seminar discusses the impacts of climate change-related risks from early development through to youth populations - along with promising directions for response
