Research in Health and Healthy Environments: a View from Latin American Nursing

Abstract

The impact of climate change on human health is a reality and affects all populations, particularly the most vulnerable, becoming a challenge for the health sector. Due to this, it is necessary to investigate the health-climate change nexus, as well as the best practices for working on adaptation and mitigation actions. The objectives of the session are to disseminate the research carried out on the topic in Latin America, promote collaborations between Latin American researchers, to work on transdisciplinary projects and raise awareness about the need to promote healthy environments.
