Podcast episode: Environment, health and optimism - what we can achieve together
In the latest “SWR2-Wissen” podcast, Prof. Dr. Claudia Traidl-Hoffmann, an environmental and preventive medicine specialist, talks about the connection between the environment and health - and how we can accomplish a lot through knowledge, prevention and joint action.
The concern of Prof. Traidl-Hoffmann, Deputy Director at the Center for Climate Resilience: "Health doesn't start in the doctor's. Health begins where we live, learn, work and meet. If we take environmental factors such as air quality, heat stress or allergenic substances seriously, we can take effective preventative measures - both individually and socially.
"The good thing is that we are not powerless. Prevention works - and it makes our society more worth living in and more fair," says Claudia Traidl-Hoffmann.
