Global Policy Webinar Series: The Impact of Climate on Cancer Care Globally

This webinar series from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network provides an opportunity for a varied group of global stakeholders, including patients, patient advocates, oncology providers, policymakers, and caregivers, to highlight and discuss global challenges to equitable and high-quality cancer care, across the continuum of care, from diverse geographic perspectives.

As climate change causes increased frequency of wildfires, drought, extreme heat, and tropical storms, fragile supply chains and under-prepared hospital systems are vulnerable to cancer care disruptions. Other complications include public transport disruptions and infrastructure damage, limiting patient access to healthcare facilities. Exploring these challenges and identifying proactive solutions can help build more resilient systems and safeguard continuity of care.
