About the event 

We, alongside Fogarty International Center of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), are hosting a webinar focused on humanitarian health research in the context of climate change. This webinar series is part of the lead-up to two in-person events in May 2025: our Research for Health in Humanitarian Crises (R2HC) Forum and the NIH Global Forum on Humanitarian Health Research (GFH2R), both in Nairobi, Kenya. These events will bring together researchers and humanitarian organisations working in crisis-affected regions, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).  

The first hour of the webinar will feature a presentation on the research landscape at the intersection of humanitarian crises and climate change. It will also include ‘flash talk’ presentations and a panel discussion with experts around the globe and an opportunity to ask questions. Participants are also invited to join an optional 30-minute follow-on discussion in small, interactive breakouts. We aim to engage a broad audience, including academic institutions, research funders, and humanitarian organisations, to enhance understanding of key issues and perspectives in this field.  

Speakers:

  • Katie Bigmore, Humanitarian Practitioner 
  • Wael Al-Delaimy, Professor, Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health & Human Longevity Science, University of California San Diego (UCSD)
  • Irene Torres, Strategic Advisor, Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research
  • Junaid Razzak, Director of the Centre of Excellence for Trauma and Emergencies, Aga Khan University; Professor of Emergency Medicine and Population Health, Weill Cornell Medicine
  • Elizabeth Kimani-Murage, Public Health Nutrition Specialist and Senior Research Scientist, African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC)

The session will be moderated by Jura Augustinavicius, Assistant Professor at McGill University, Dept. of Equity, Ethics, and Policy, School of Population and Global Health, Canada.
