2023 Climate Change Conversations | Mitigating Equitable Health Pathways with Dr. Daniel Carrión

Yale Alumni Academy and the Yale School of the Environment have assembled a distinguished roster of expert faculty to address the leading climate change issues facing our wondrous planet. Please join as we discuss Double Mitigation: Exploring Equitable Climate Change and Health Pathways with Dr. Daniel Carrión. Society is grappling with two fundamental questions: 1) how do we address entrenched social inequality, and 2) how do we mitigate the greenhouse gases that are driving our climate crisis? Studying the immediate health benefits of climate mitigation is often referred to as “co-benefits”; however, this framing makes health benefits ancillary to the decarbonization. In this Climate Change Conversation, we will discuss how simultaneously mitigating greenhouse gases and health disparities can, and should, be prioritized when selecting societal decarbonization pathways.
