Arctic Global Health Series
This 10-part webinar series explores diverse perspectives on Arctic Global Health. Despite documented health disparities between the circumpolar north and other regions, the Arctic remains an underrepresented area in global health research. This series offers a transdisciplinary look at key global health challenges and opportunities in the High North. Join us for this free, open-access webinar series with academics and specialists on Arctic governance, ecosystem change, food security, migration, climate change, Indigenous rights and more.
