Conference Agenda
The first day will highlight CHRIM’s trainees, providing them the opportunity to share their science at the poster session, before networking with seasoned investigators the following day.
The second day will begin the conference in full force, with seven speakers delivering talks discussing the land and air impacts of climate change on child health. In the evening a networking mixer will occur on the Leaf Mezzanine.
On the third and final day of the conference, three speakers will discuss the population impact of climate change on child health. Then, a panel of five speakers will talk on how we move forward in mitigating these negative effects. The conference will end with an awards dinner.
