Overview
NIEHS held it's fourth annual Global Environmental Health Day - "Science at the Cutting Edge of Global Environmental Change and Health" as a virtual event on July 1, 2020.
Global Environmental Health (GEH) research addresses pressing environmental health problems and aims to improve the lives of the most vulnerable populations, both in the United States and around the world. GEH Day served as an opportunity to bring together a global community of colleagues to explore areas of interest and discuss new ideas, to form collaborations and share common goals. GEH hosted this event virtually this year due to the pandemic and are hopeful that we will be together in person next year. This year's speakers emphasized climate and other global environmental changes and their associated health impacts.
