Talk Title: "Climate’s Impact on Megacity Health"
As the world urbanizes, megacities, or rapidly developing urban centers with populations of 10 million or more inhabitants, present a unique opportunity to understanding the future of planetary health. Urbanization brings both health benefits and threats to megacities, particularly as a result of increasing vulnerabilities due to climate change. Innovative interventions being designed and implemented in megacities to cultivate a more resilient and healthy planet will be described.
Faculty Mentorship Awards:
As students cultivate and expand their knowledge of global health through working abroad, they receive support, guidance and mentorship from faculty at Johns Hopkins, as well as from their partners and collaborators. Global Health Day seeks to recognize and honor this hard work by providing awards to those exceptional Hopkins faculty mentors.
