Environment and Human Health: Challenges and Opportunities

ECHHO - 2025

One Day National Conference | February 28, 2025

Celebrating NATIONAL SCIENCE DAY

About the Conference

The theme of the Conference underscores the intricate link between environmental conditions and human health. As climate change accelerates, its effects—such as rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and shifting disease patterns—pose significant threats to global health, particularly among vulnerable populations. Addressing these challenges requires a collaborative approach, integrating science, policy, and community engagement to safeguard both the environment and public health.

The Conference is organized to celebrate NATIONAL SCIENCE DAY, wherein we look at scientific solutions towards environmental problems.
