This NCCN Global Policy Webinar focused on how climate change – increased frequency of wildfires, drought, extreme heat, and tropical storms – can impact fragile supply chains and under-prepared hospital systems, limiting patient access to cancer care. The discussion focused on identifying proactive solutions to help build more resilient systems and safeguard continuity of care.
The live webinar occurred on November 6, 2025.
