Experts discuss the need for health forecasts as Climate Change impacts persist
The second Pan-African Climate and Health workshop concluded Wednesday, April 6, in Addis Ababa as part of ongoing debates that will see Africa speaking with one voice on health at the December 2011 17th Conference of Parties (CoP 17) to take place in Durban, South Africa. Addressing journalists during a conference organized by the Information and Communication Service of the Economic Commission for Africa, Dr. Judy Omumbo, Associate Research Scientist from the International Research Institute for Climate and Society at Columbia University’s Earth Institute said, “The workshop was a moment of celebrating a decade of understanding the relationship between climate and health.” According to the workshop organizers, the impacts of climate change are already exposing the entire Africa region to famine and serious health concerns.
