Dr Clíona Farrell - Climate Change and the Brain

Dr Clíona Farrell - Climate Change and the Brain

Dr Clíona Farrell, narrating her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.

In this blog, Clíona shares reflections from the Hot Brain 3 conference, which examined the intersection of climate change and brain health. From the exacerbation of neurological conditions like Dravet syndrome and dementia during heatwaves, to emerging links between rising temperatures and preterm births, the event laid bare the growing risks posed by a warming planet. With first-hand accounts, scientific findings, and health system responses, the blog highlights the urgent need for more research and action in both clinical and policy spaces.
