DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Climate change has resulted in an increase in the glo
 bal mean temperature. In recent decades\, Canada has seen a rise in the fr
 equency\, duration\, and intensity of heat waves. In order to provide pati
 ent care and health care delivery with broader strategies for mitigating a
 nd adapting to rising temperatures\, a comprehensive understanding of the 
 wide range of health impacts of extreme heat exposure is crucial. This pre
 sentation will summarize the epidemiological evidence on the health risks 
 associated with heat\, its disproportionate impact on vulnerable populatio
 ns\, and the protection strategies that can be taken at both the individua
 l and community-level to prevent these risks.\n\nSpeaker Biography:\n\nEri
 c Lavigne is a Research Scientist with Health Canada and an Adjunct Profes
 sor in the School of Epidemiology and Public Health at the University of O
 ttawa. His research interests include the interconnections between air pol
 lution and climate change\, particularly in the context of early life expo
 sure and children's health. The research is aimed at being policy-relevant
  and contributing to well-informed decision-making to improve the protecti
 on of human health.\n\nRegistration\n
