These threats are wide-ranging, including decreased air quality and increases in extreme weather events, wildfire, and illnesses transmitted by water, and disease-carriers, such as mosquitoes and ticks. Although scientific understanding of the effects of climate change is still emerging, there is considerable evidence to support preparing for potential health risks.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EStudies have shown that adverse climate events are increasing in both intensity and frequency, contributing to rising rates of illness as well as mortality. Elevated temperatures in the 2003 European heat wave resulted in over 30,000 confirmed heat-related deaths \u0026amp; 70,000 excess deaths from all causes. Flooding has caused billions of dollars of damage and significant loss of life. The populations most vulnerable\u00e2EUR\u0022children, elderly people, those living in poverty, people living in certain geographic areas and people with underlying health conditions\u00e2EUR\u0022are at even greater health risk from climate change.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EPlanning for climate change provides opportunities to protect human health and well-being across many sectors. Early public health action is essential to ensuring that systems are in place to protect people from the impacts of climate change. As the nation\u0027s public health agency, CDC is using its prevention expertise to help states and cities investigate, prepare for, and respond to the health effects of climate change.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThis session of Grand Rounds will explore the wide-ranging health impact of our changing climate and discuss some of the strategies, programs and partnerships currently being used to confront the challenges associated with global climate change.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EFuture Grand Rounds topics include \u0022Understanding the Causes of Major Birth Defects: Steps to Prevention,\u0022 \u0022Global Polio Eradication\u0022 and \u0022Emergency Preparedness Challenges for Children in Public Health Emergencies\u0022\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ECDC\u0027s Public Health Grand Rounds Presents:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u0022Climate Change and Health - From Science to Practice\u0022\u003Cbr \/\u003ETuesday, December 16, 2014\u003Cbr \/\u003E1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m., EST\u003Cbr \/\u003EGlobal Communications Center (Building 19)\u003Cbr \/\u003EAlexander D.
