On Tuesday 19th November we are holding an evening of talks addressing the impact which our changing climate has on human health and wellbeing. The event will consist of two seminars given by experts in Complex Socio-ecological Systems and Global Health.
Dr. James Dyke is a lecturer in Complex Systems Simulation at the University of Southampton and is Co-chair of Sustainability Science Southampton. He will be introducing the climate change agenda, and discussing its implications for food security, energy policy and global governance.
Prof. Sabu Padmadas is a Professor of Geography and Global Health at the University of Southampton. He is Co-director of the Centre for Global Health, Population, Poverty & Policy (GHP3).

Climate health advocates from youth group Healthy Planet UK will update us on the latest developments made by member states on the UNFCCC.
