Climate Change and Health

Climate change and the impacts on health are being increasingly reported and documented. It is expected that with continued rises in global temperature and greenhouse gas emissions the effects on health will become more widely experienced and extreme. Throughout July PLOS Medicine is publishing a Special Issue on climate change and health. Guest edited by Dr. Jonathan Patz (University of Wisconsin-Madison) and Dr. Madeleine Thomson (Columbia University), the issue focuses on topics including the health effects of extreme heat and flooding, food system effects, non-communicable disease risk, such as air pollution, infectious disease risks and the health benefits of greenhouse gas mitigation policies. The issue has a particular focus on evidence based studies focused on policy-relevant work on adaptation and mitigation options. http://collections.plos.org/climate-change-and-health

Tom Wassmer would like your support for his campaign: Solar Panels for Remote Himalayan Villages
Dear Friends,
I'm extremely honored that I’ve been selected to join this year's Global Himalayan Expedition (GHE) in September 2018. GHE is an initiative that provides custom-made solar panel micro-grids to remote villages across the Himalayan ranges of Northern India that do not have electricity.
I would love it if you took a moment to check out my GoFundMe campaign:
Your support would mean a lot to me. Thank you so much!
Thomas Wassmer
PS. Please feel free to share with anybody who might be interested. Thanks again!
