This region is particularly vulnerable to the adverse consequences of these changes. More than half of the world’s population and nearly two-thirds of the world’s poor reside in the area, which contains almost 70 of the world’s 100 most polluted cities. 

 
The exciting conference program will see talks from world leaders in the field from Monash University, the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, The Colorado School of Public Health and China’s Centre for Disease Control and Prevention. Our speakers will share innovative new epidemiological methods to assess the impacts of climate change and environmental pollution on human health. Monitoring and extrapolating this information allows policy makers and health service providers to adapt and plan for future healthcare needs. 

The Asia Pacific Cohort Consortium for Environmental Health Effects will be formally launched at the event, marking the establishment of the largest collaborative network in the Asia Pacific region to explore environmental health impacts. This exciting new project aims to provide evidence-based knowledge supporting the development of healthy environments across the Asia Pacific region.
