Presentation
Climate change is now an inescapable reality. The IPCC reports, based on multiple scientific consensuses, are sounding increasingly important warnings.
This climate change has and will have an impact on the health of the population. This is true in the northern hemisphere, but even more so in tropical and Sahelian areas.
The objective of this session is to understand the extent of the impact of climate change on human health, but also to see the strategies that can be put in place to prevent or mitigate these phenomena.
