Climate Change and Environmental Health examines how environmental changes and exposures influence child health and development. Children may be particularly vulnerable to air pollution, extreme temperatures, water insecurity, environmental toxins, and climate-related disruptions. The session explores research linking environmental exposures with respiratory, infectious, nutritional, developmental, and other health outcomes. Researchers can discuss adaptation strategies and approaches to protecting vulnerable pediatric populations. Environmental monitoring and public health interventions are important areas of investigation. The session encourages collaboration between pediatricians, environmental scientists, epidemiologists, researchers, and policymakers.
