Climate Change and Brain Health Webinar

Climate change represents one of the most pressing global challenges of our time, with wide-ranging impacts on human health and wellbeing. Among the most concerning, yet underexplored, are the threats to brain health. These threats are particularly acute at the intersection of climate change, migration, and urbanisation, and they disproportionately affect socioeconomically disadvantaged and marginalised communities.

This webinar—marking the launch of the Global Brain Health Institute at Trinity College Dubin led CliCBrain project—explores why brain health must be part of the climate conversation and how global collaboration can help protect the most vulnerable.

Speakers

The webinar will be chaired by Eoin Cotter, Education, Engagement and Strategy Lead, GBHI at Trinity.
