DESCRIPTION

Open admission to eligible categories, no tuition or ticket

Climate change is an existential threat. With greater intensity and frequency of extreme weather events, serious health consequences are occurring now and threaten future generations. Dermatologists are uniquely positioned to advocate for public health, educate patients on the cutaneous manifestations of climate change, and create innovative solutions for mitigation. This session will highlight how climate change and pollution influence infectious, inflammatory, and autoimmune skin diseases with attention to disproportionately affected populations. This forum will provide learners with knowledge of key health impacts, tools to build sustainable practices, and opportunities for advocacy and engagement.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1.

Examine the scientific basis of climate change and its impacts on cutaneous disease and the practice of dermatology.

2.

Define the impacts of global warming, climate change, and pollution on cutaneous disease and recognize the vulnerable populations that are disproportionately affected by these.

3.

Implement strategies to reduce our professional carbon footprint and identify opportunities for climate advocacy.
