Political Determinants of Health and Climate Change: Strategies for Promoting Environmental Justice

The intersection of policy and health equity is critical. It is important to consider the implications and direct and indirect links and impacts policy has on climate, health, and equity. In this webinar, healthcare attorney Daniel E. Dawes, Senior Vice President and Founding Dean of the School of Global Health and Executive Director of the Institute of Global Health Equity at Meharry Medical College, will address his Political Determinants of Health (PDOH) framework that evaluates the origins of these health-related disparities and assess the ways policy and structural institutions can be used to reverse past and current harms and how physicians can contribute to and support solutions.
