Are Emerging Diseases Part of Climate Change?

Wednesday 20th May, 7.30pm - 8.30pm
Organised by University Of Derby

The University of Derby is resuming the series of events about climate change science and action hosted by the Environmental Sustainability Research Centre, in collaboration with local partners. They have adapted their new events to an online format.

This is the first of three new online seminars planned. Dr Richard Williams, from the University of Derby, will summarise the history of disease pandemics, discuss how disease distributions are affected by climate and examine what evidence exists that disease distributions will change as climatic conditions change. Richard is a researcher at the University of Derby who works on the ecology of bird viruses.  The talk will be followed by a Q&A with Richard.

Once you have signed up, you will receive a link to participate. If you can no longer make it, please let them know as places are limited.

You can register to this and future online climate change events here.  (Note: booking for this event will open Thursday 7th May).
