AfterHours: Fossil Fuels are a Health Hazard

Coal, oil and gas damage our health in multiple ways.
These fossil fuels are the primary drivers of climate change and its multiple health impacts and cause air pollution contributing to 1 in 5 deaths globally per year. If that's not bad enough, fossil fuels are also the source material for plastics, which are clogging our oceans and our arteries.
Getting out of dirty unhealthy fossil fuels is critical for the health of our planet and the health of Australians.
This webinar will look at these health harms and then outline a treatment plan for how we can protect our own health and that of our planet from this extreme health hazard.
Facilitated by our ED Dr Kate Wylie, our speakers for the webinar are:
Dr Aditya Vyas: Associate Professor of Public Health & Deputy Director of the Healthy Environments And Lives (HEAL) Global Research Centre at the University of Canberra. Adi will provide an overview of the health impacts of climate change.
Dr Louse Woodward: Paediatrician from Royal Darwin Hospital. Louise will outline the impacts of pollution from gas extraction and petrochemical processing with a particular focus on the proposed Middle Arm development.
Dr Mitchell Hickson: Physician at NSW health who will look at the emerging evidence of the impacts of plastics on our health, particularly on endocrine disruption and infertility.
Lastly, Dr Wylie will look at how we can treat these health problems and discuss with the panel ways that we can work together to make a difference.
