- Abstract
“We incorporate climate change into all aspects of our health management.” With this emphatic statement, Royal DeLegge, Salt Lake County Health Department’s environmental health director, opened the “Climate Variability and Health Symposium” last month. This two-day event brought together over 110 experts and citizens engaged in efforts to reduce the health risks from climate change in Utah. The keynote speaker, Utah Climate Center’s professor Rob Davies, explained how Utah is warming almost twice the world average, creating serious health risks.
