Climate change and human health are interconnected global issues that pose a threat to human existence, and while science is necessary to meaningfully address these challenges, using science alone is not sufficient. Attitudes and behaviours determine adoption patterns, and consequently the success or failure of the technological innovations that aim to improve the health of humans and the planet. Faith and value systems influence factors such as life goals, behavioural choices and demographic outcomes, which have an impact on adoption patterns. Decision makers have failed to understand these factors sufficiently while addressing these global challenges. 

This conference is convened by Professor Shahid Jameel, Sir David Clary and Professor Adil Najam. It will bring together climate, health and faith practitioners to share knowledge and build links between sectors, to move towards sustainable decision-making and adaptation strategies.
