Global temperatures are on the rise, extreme weather events are becoming frequent, and our
ecosystems are at risk. How will these environmental challenges affect global populations? This panel brings together influential thinkers from the public, policy, and academic domains to examine the impacts of climate change on population growth, migration patterns, and public health outcomes. The discussion will focus on effective strategies for mitigating negative impacts and for ensuring the well-being of present and future
generations.
