This lecture will be delivered by Professor Mark J Nieuwenhuijsen, a world-leading environmental, epidemiology and health impact expert from ISGlobal. In person and virtual attendance options are available.
Cities are home to half the world’s population, and this is expected to increase to almost 70% by 2050. While responsible for most human CO2 emissions, cities may hold the key to solving our climate crisis – if we build them right. In this lecture, Mark will highlight the climate impacts of cities and how this affects population health; explore the crucial role of cities in climate action to reduce CO2 emissions and reflect on new urban models, such as London low-traffic neighbourhoods, that promote more climate neutral, liveable, and healthy cities.
The registration deadline for in-person attendance is 16 October.
