COP18: Tackling Nigeria’s climate change health problems

COP18 (06/12/12) – Isaiah Owolabi and Owonikoko Olusola Samuel from Hacey’s Health Initiative explain the linkages between health and climate change in Nigeria and call for more education for health workers to ensure they understand the issues at hand.
