Science Circle Lecture "Air Pollution, Climate Change and Health" by Prof. Dr. Rainer Sauerborn

A physician by training, Prof. Dr. Sauerborn has done extensive research over the past 15 years on the impacts of climate change on population health and how households and health services can adapt to protect health.  In his talk he gave an impressive and comprehensive overview of the role of climate active pollutants and the health impacts of climate change in South Asia. He placed a strong focus on the issue of indoor air pollution and showed the audience a possible path forward for effectively managing health and climate concerns.

The lecture was followed by an extensive and lively Q&A session. Prof. Dr Sauerborn concluded the evening with a delightful piano performance. Stirring discussions over this very important topic continued during the DWIH networking dinner that followed the talk.
