Less visible, longer-term toll of climate change can settle in on the mental and physical well-being of those who have suffered great loss.

The discussion will end by highlighting practical and cost-effective actions that can be taken now.
In part 2 of the Living Health Equity Values conversation, participants will reflect on core values that support a health equity approach in public health organizations and on value tensions that can arise in public health practice and policy.
