Dear CHIFA members
From 25th-26th February 2021, the International Society for Social Pediatrics and Child Health (ISSOP) will begin a monthly series of webinars for a global audience, on Responding to the Impact of Climate change on children. The webinars will cover a wide range of topics commencing with Professor Anthony Costello and colleagues on child health and sustainability.
The webinars will be run in sessions for two different time zones, to allow opportunities for joining from interested child health professionals all over the world. Instant translation will be available for those whose first language is not English.
The talks will be followed by live Q and A with the speakers and then by an hour of discussion in regional breakout rooms to bring together colleagues locally, for taking forward education and advocacy.
All details of programme dates and registration link are on the flyer on the ISSOP website
