TUE 4 MARCH 1:00PM - 2:00PM

Department Seminar Series - 

Health, Climate Change and Migration

Ilan Kelman is Professor of Disasters and Health at University College London, England and a Professor II at the University of Agder, Norway. His overall research interest is linking disasters and health, integrating climate change into both.

Join Ilan as he explores some of the connections and lack thereof among health, climate change, and migration.

Health, climate change, and migration affect all of us every day. Determining connections among them is not always straightforward. Certainly, climate and climate change have influenced migration and health throughout human history, yet additional links or influences from human-caused climate change are not necessarily easy to demonstrate.

Prof. Ilan Kelman argues that while fully supporting the urgency of stopping human-caused climate change and adjusting to its impacts, supporting migrants’ health while avoiding health issues which force migration would be best achieved through migration and health policies and actions.

This event will take place in-person at the COW1.11 on LSE Campus, and online via Zoom.

  • For in-person entry, no ticket or pre-registration is required - entry is on a first-come, first-served basis. Light refreshments will be offered.
