In their podcast series, “Harvard Chan: This Week in Health,” the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health brings you top health headlines — from wellness tips to important global health trends — and insights from experts who will put it into perspective.

In Part 1 of the series on climate change and health, the Harvard Chan School shares an in-depth conversation with Aaron Bernstein, associate director of the Center for Health and the Global Environment, about the effects of climate change on individual health. Bernstein will also discuss how the future health care costs that stem from climate change will dwarf the cost of moving away from fossil fuels.
