CHIE - Climate Change Conference
Engaging our partners to explore the relationship between health and the environment
Where we live, the air we breathe, it all impacts our health. As the threat of climate change grows, we are called to leverage our partnerships and work across sectors to address this systemic issue. That is why, this March, the Parkinson School of Health Sciences and Public Health will join Loyola University Chicago and the School of Environmental Sustainability (SES) for the 2022 Climate Change Conference: The Intersection of Climate Change, Human Health, and Justice (March 14-18).
Leading our collaboration with SES, Parkinson Founding Dean Elaine Morrato will join SES Founding Dean Nancy Tuchman to moderate the Keynote Conference event, a conversation with national and international thought leaders about the impacts of climate change on human health.
Additionally, the Center for Health Innovation and Entrepreneurship and the Parkinson School will lead two conversations focused on the relationship of climate change, human health, and healthcare delivery systems:
