Launching Season 2 of Frontiers in Health & Happiness Podcast
Celebrate Earth Month with the Lee Kum Sheung Center for Health and Happiness by checking out season 2 of our Frontiers in Health & Happiness Podcast, “Environments for Health and Happiness!” This series will explore the intricate relationships between the natural and built environments and our health, happiness, and well-being. Episodes will feature diverse array of experts, including environmental health scientists, architects, and urban public health leaders– who you may recognize from this year’s seminar series of the same name. Join us as we highlight the transformative power of natural and built environments to improve quality of life and create happier, healthier, and more resilient communities.
In the first episode of our new series, we sit down with Dr. Gaurab Basu to discuss the significant impacts of climate change on mental, social, and physical health. Listen today to learn about the critical role of sustainable practices and climate education in health care, and explore the strong link between climate change and health equity.
