United States Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, welcomes you to the encore presentation of Climate Change and Health – From Science to Practice. Climate change poses a serious, immediate and global threat to human health and the responsibility for taking action to address this threat rests with every person, every community, every leader and every government around the world. Addressing climate change is a health issue and a moral issue and each of us has a responsibility to do what we can, as much as we can and for as long as we can.
