On April 5, the Purdue Climate Change Research Center will release the second in a series of reports associated with the Indiana Climate Change Impacts Assessment (www.IndianaClimate.org). This report, Hoosiers' Health in a Changing Climate, describes how changing weather patterns directly and indirectly affect our health and wellbeing. It will be released during a community briefing at 10:30 AM on April 5 at Eskenazi Hospital in the Faegre Baker Daniels Conference Room (720 Eskenazi Ave, Indianapolis, IN 46202). 

WHAT: The Indiana Climate Change Impacts Assessment, based at Purdue University, has compiled the latest scientific research into a series of easily understandable reports about climate change impacts in nine topic areas: climate, water resources, health, energy, forest and urban ecosystems, aquatic ecosystems, tourism and recreation, agriculture and infrastructure. The assessment team consists of more than 100 experts from Purdue and other Indiana institutions.

WHO: Following the community briefing, interviews will be available with Jeff Dukes, director of the IN CCIA; and Gabe Filippelli one of the report authors and Director of the Center for Urban Health at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI).
