Department Seminar Series -

Health, Climate Change and Migration

Ilan Kelman is Professor of Disasters and Health at University College London, England and a Professor II at the University of Agder, Norway. His overall research interest is linking disasters and health, integrating climate change into both.

Join Ilan as he explores some of the connections and lack thereof among health, climate change, and migration.

Health, climate change, and migration affect all of us every day. Determining connections among them is not always straightforward. Certainly, climate and climate change have influenced migration and health throughout human history, yet additional links or influences from human-caused climate change are not necessarily easy to demonstrate.

Prof. Ilan Kelman argues that while fully supporting the urgency of stopping human-caused climate change and adjusting to its impacts, supporting migrants’ health while avoiding health issues which force migration would be best achieved through migration and health policies and actions.

This event will take place in-person at the COW1.11 on LSE Campus, and online via Zoom.

For in-person entry, no ticket or pre-registration is required - entry is on a first-come, first-served basis. Light refreshments will be offered.

LSE Health Annual Lecture-

Social Justice and Health Equity

This event is hosted by LSE Health

In developing strategies for tackling health inequalities we need to confront the social gradient in health, not just the difference between the worst off and everybody else. There is clear evidence when we look across countries that national policies make a difference and that much can be done in cities, towns and local areas. But policies and interventions must not be confined to the health care system; they need to address the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age. The evidence shows that economic circumstances are important, but they are not the only drivers of health inequalities. Tackling the health gap will take action, based on sound evidence, across the whole of society.

Speaker: Professor Sir Michael Marmot, Professor of Epidemiology at UCL and Director of the Institute of Health Equity

Chair: Professor Larry Kramer, President and Vice-Chancellor, LSE

This event will take place in person at the Old Theatre, LSE Campus and online.

This year's Annual Lecture kickstarts the celebrations for LSE Health's 30th Anniversary at the School!
