The Climate Crisis is a Healthcare Emergency
Join Dr. Phil Barber for an insightful session on the critical intersection of climate change and human health. Discover why the climate crisis is not only a health emergency but a challenge to our survival. Learn how climate change’s non-linear nature and positive feedback loops can accelerate its impacts unpredictably. Finally, explore the urgent need for a sustainable healthcare model to reduce environmental harm and improve health outcomes. Speaker: Dr. Philip Barber is a stroke neurologist and Professor in the Departments of Clinical Neurosciences, Radiology and Community Health Sciences at the University of Calgary, and a member of the Calgary Stroke Program. His research focuses on how vascular risk factors and silent brain injuries contribute to stroke and dementia, and how we can use imaging and prevention strategies to protect brain health across the lifespan. |
