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.
