Conferences and symposiums KI Conference on Sustainable Development: The health effects of climate change, and how to prevent them
Join us in a conference where you will learn more about SDGs, hear about the latest research regarding them, and how you can address SDGs in your research activities.
As the world faces greater challenges than ever before, the United Nations has developed 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved by 2030 to protect the planet and ensure health and prosperity for all. Karolinska Institutet is devoted to finding solutions to health challenges and to help fulfil these goals. Of these, how to prevent climate change and how it affects our health is a current critical question for humankind.
