Attention to climate change is crucial because it is the most pertinent topic to our lives and could have unexpected, catastrophic consequences. One of the observable impacts is the resurgence of infectious diseases and the emergence and spread of new diseases. Another predictable effect is rising global temperatures, which have changed precipitation patterns and brought us extreme weather. As a result, the frequency and severity of natural disasters, such as floods, wildfires, and typhoons, have risen. What role does MSF play in those issues? What steps can we take to stop them?


On behalf of the APAC Asso team, we would like to invite you to attend the webinar on Wednesday, April 23. This webinar will help you gain a better knowledge of climate change, the potential diseases and disasters that it may cause, and the response that MSF is implementing with a focus on Asia. In addition, we will focus on raising awareness of the urgent need to address climate change's health implications and inspiring action at both the individual and community levels.
