Animals, Pandemics, and Global Health
September 18, 2020 @ 11:00 am - 1:30 pm
In the first session of the Animals, Climate Change and Global Health Webinar Series, we will explore how human use of wild and domestic animals for food, together with environmental destruction and habitat loss, leads to an increase in zoonotic diseases with high potential to turn into epi- and pandemics. We will discuss the consequences for global human and animal health and wellbeing, including: What role does industrial animal agriculture play? How can we prevent the future development of zoonoses that may turn into epi- and pandemics?
Moderator: Jan Dutkiewicz (Harvard Law School)
Speakers: Michael Greger (NutritionFacts.org), Mia MacDonald (Brighter Green), Astra Taylor (Documentary filmmaker and writer)
