Preparing for the Impacts of a Changing Climate on Public Health in New Jersey:
A Workshop for Public Health Practitioners in New Jersey
Join us for a half day workshop on June 3, 2016 to learn about how a changing climate may affect public health in New Jersey and about strategies to better prepare New Jersey’s public health practitioners and professionals to address these impacts.
The workshop will provide an overview of how a changing climate may affect human health, the latest research on public health implications of climate change, and leading efforts around the U.S. to prepare public health professionals and agencies to address impacts from climate change. A panel of New Jersey public health practitioners will discuss challenges and opportunities and lay out possible next steps for action in New Jersey.

Fishable and Swimmable: The Clean Water Act at 40

The 5th Annual Sustainable Raritan River Conference was all about Water!
Is there enough for the people and businesses in our communities? Is it clean? How do we keep it safe? How do we manage it when there is too much? What can we do on a personal level, on a business level, on the municipal level, in the region and state-wide to ensure it is a resource we can rely on in the future? How do we make it better so we can ultimately eat the fish from it and safely swim in it? These were some of the questions we explored in the 5th Annual Conference.
