Virtual International Child Health Group (ICHG) Winter Meeting 2022:
15th November 2022
Climate Health is Child Health
Children and young people pay a disproportionate price for climate change. However, we know that a comprehensive and collaborative response to climate change could be the greatest global health opportunity of our generation.
The ICHG <https://www.internationalchildhealthgroup.org/> Winter Meeting 2022: 'Climate Health is Child Health' offers a unique opportunity for global child health advocates from a wide range of disciplines to come together and explore the impact of climate change on children and young people's well-being. Featuring leading academics and activists in the fields of climate change and planetary health and most importantly, the voices of young people themselves, we aim to inspire and equip attendees to take action. The meeting will offer participants the chance to interact with professionals and influencers along with the opportunity to build a network with other participants at specifically allocated networking and interactive workshop sessions.
Registration is free to attendees resident in low and middle income countries and subsidised for students. To register and view the full programme please go to at https://www.internationalchildhealthgroup.org/winter-meeting-2022
Early bird discount for tickets closes on 31st of October.
