Environment Issues

Discussion Group

Medact aims to highlight the health implications of environmental degradation and work towards solutions which are ecologically sound, socially just, and beneficial to human health.

Medacts members are increasingly concerned about the responsibility of health professionals for the impacts of human behaviour on global eco-systems, and the role of environmental factors as determinants of health. Our membership includes leading experts in the fields of climate change and toxicology, who are active in delineating the present and potential damage to human health worldwide.
