Please join us for the second panel discussion in our Water Insecurity Across Borders Forum Series. Robust evaluation of the environmental, health and socio-economic outcomes of the heating climate and catastrophic outcomes such as extreme flooding and drought are limited, but especially among vulnerable populations such as those living in Africa. In this webinar leading experts from Chicago, USA and Cape Town, South Africa will share their recent work exploring extreme water events and health outcomes, increasing nighttime temperatures and sleep health, the impact of climate change on diabetes prevalence and a heat adaptation intervention among 4 vulnerable populations in South Africa and Ghana. The speakers bring a range of expertise from the graduate level through international recognition.
