Environmental Risk Factors
In Cancer Clinical Trials
Equal to the recent call for emergency action to limit global temperature increases is the urgent need to invest in research to inform developing and implementing strategies, policies, and programs to proactively prepare for and manage increasing erratic weather patterns, including extreme weather and climate events; increasing threats to water and nutrition safety and security; changes in the geographic range of infectious diseases; changes in the magnitude and pattern of respiratory diseases from reductions in air quality; reductions in mental health and wellbeing; and potential consequences of migration and conflict. Research needs to focus on protecting the health and wellbeing of vulnerable populations and communities but should not delay the urgent and immediate actions needed today.
