Youth Action on Climate, Water and Neglected Tropical Diseases

This webinar hosted in partnership with the Canadian Network for NTDs and our very own Climate Change and Health Working Group (CCHWG) will explore the connections between climate change, neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), and access to clean water and sanitation, and what it means for our health. These three key challenges in global health are interconnected and require sustained efforts by governments and citizens to address. This webinar will also explore examples of integrated approaches to NTD prevention in the Americas and Asia. It will also take a look at the role of youth action on climate, water and sanitation, and NTDs as essential for building a more sustainable, resilient, and equitable future for all.
