Professor Kevin Anderson's remarkable talk covers the changes needed to reduce our climate emissions sufficiently to prevent temperature rise of more than 1.5-2 degrees centigrade, as proposed in the Paris climate agreement five years ago.
Professor Ruth Etzel covers the ISSOP Declaration on Climate Change and its implications for health professionals.
Please disseminate these two talks to your colleagues, students and friends as they will transform your thinking on the urgency of the changes which are required by us all to protect future generations.
