The online session is one of the events scheduled for the university's 12th Cross-disciplinary Workshop Week on Sustainability, which take place across 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 November, and aims to reflect, from an interdisciplinary perspective, on how to cure the planet whilst in the throes of a dual climate and health crisis.

 

This year’s Cross-disciplinary Workshop, “Caring for the planet amidst a climate and health crisis: solutions and alliances for simultaneously protecting both our health and the environment” will focus on SDG 3, 15 and 17 from the United Nations’ list of Sustainable Development Goals.  The aim is not only to reflect upon and analyse the current situation, but also to seek solutions and promote alliances to protect both the natural world and our health.
