EPNS Climate Change Webinar

Paediatric Neurology in the Anthropocene: Clinical Perspectives in a Changing Climate

The EPNS was delighted to offer this 60-minute webinar, organised by the YEPNS. We are currently living in an era dominated by human-driven climatic and environmental footprint. Of the nine planetary boundaries that define the ecological threshold for Earth’s stability, seven have already been crossed. Among these, climate change acceleration has become a crucial, severe and highly worrying problem of our times. Not only is climate change negatively affecting our planet’s ecology, but it also poses a direct and indirect threat to human health, causing an increase in disease incidence, morbidity and mortality, and worsening health outcomes. Children, and especially children with neurological or neurodevelopmental disorders, are uniquely vulnerable in this sense. The EPNS is committed to addressing awareness and knowledge among paediatric neurologists about climate change and its impact on our profession.

Don’t worry if you missed the live broadcast — fully paid up EPNS members can access a recording of the full session via the EPNS Moodle.
