MIX: Climate Is a Health Issue: How Environmental Change Is Shaping Public Health
Inviting all innovators, changemakers, artists, entrepreneurs, researchers, policymakers, community leaders, educators, and neighbors to join us at our March MIX - the Monthly Innovation eXchange!
April Topic: Climate Is a Health Issue: How Environmental Change Is Shaping Public Health
Climate change is not just an environmental issue, it’s a public health issue. From extreme heat and air quality to flooding, housing conditions, and food systems, environmental changes are already affecting the health and wellbeing of Baltimore communities.
This session explores how researchers, healthcare leaders, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and community advocates are working to address the health impacts of climate change while building more resilient systems. Together, we’ll examine how local innovation - from neighborhood-level solutions to regional policy - can improve public health while preparing Baltimore for a changing climate.
MIX isn’t a panel; it’s an active space for conversation, imagination, and new connections.
