Dear colleagues,
We are delighted to welcome you to the workshop “Environment & Human
Health: Social Perspectives
<http://www.lshtm.ac.uk/newsevents/events/2016/02/environment-human-health-social-perspectives>”
to be held on Friday, 19 February 2016 at the London School of Hygiene &
Tropical Medicine.
Social research has shown how human health may be threatened by
environmental factors, such as air or water pollution and by climate change
impacts, such as flooding and heat waves. Meanwhile, improvements in health
threaten the environment through population growth, greater longevity of
life, and health technology developments.
Research further indicates how improving the environment can enhance human
health, for instance through clean water and food security, while
initiatives can also reduce the environmental impact of health care, such
as preventing run-off from pharmaceutical production.
Towards this agenda for social analysis, Professor Hillary Graham, CBE
<http://www.york.ac.uk/healthsciences/our-staff/hilary-graham/> will
deliver a keynote lecture entitled ‘Environmental Change and Human Health:
Do people care about future generations?’ The workshop will proceed by
exploring a wide-range of multi-disciplinary research addressing the
interactions between the natural environment and human health.
