The Human Cost of Wildfires: Protecting Health in a Changing Climate

As recovery efforts continue in the wake of the Los Angeles-area wildfires, the need for clear, evidence-based guidance on protecting communities and people’s wellbeing has never been more urgent. Join leading experts in climate science, pediatrics, mental health, environmental health, and climate adaptation to explore wide-ranging short-term and long-term health risks posed by wildfires—from anxiety and trauma to environmental toxicity—and share practical strategies for building resilience and protecting communities.

This event is hosted by the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment, the Stanford Center for Human and Planetary Health, and the Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health.
