The Climate Reality Project hosted a panel titled "Connecting Climate Change and Public Health: State of the Science," featuring experts on the health impacts of climate change. Jonathan Patz of the University of Wisconsin moderated the discussion. For more details, visit climaterealityproject.org.

Speakers addressed critical areas such as heat (Kim Knowlton, NRDC/Columbia University), extreme weather and disasters (Mark Keim, DisasterDoc), and the food supply (Sam Myers, Harvard University). Glenn Morris (University of Florida) covered infectious diseases.

Additional topics included air quality and allergens, presented by Patrick Kinney (Boston University), and mental health, discussed by Lise Van Susteren (Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health).

Los Angeles, with nearly 10 million residents, depends on imported snowmelt from the distant Eastern Sierra Nevadas and Rocky Mountains for its water supply.

UCLA researchers Stephanie Pincetl and Mark Gold are studying how the city can reduce these imports. Their work focuses on enhancing local water capture, storage, and reuse to establish a more sustainable water system for the region.

Permaculture, based on the ethos of “earth care, people care and fair share,” has provided millions of people the principles and tools to live and work in right relationship to the earth and to produce and harvest abundance without degrading the environment.
