Under the Weather

 Climate Change and Health ​​

​

Climate change is already affecting our health, but the connections are not always obvious.

So, let’s talk about them over a pint!​

​

Pint of Science Thailand is teaming up with Bangkok Climate Action Week 2026 for Under the Weather, an afternoon of short talks, open conversations and interactive activities at Marshall Livehouse.

​

Through four different perspectives, we’ll explore some of the ways climate change connects with our health and everyday lives: how changing climate and environmental conditions can influence infectious diseases; how climate change can contribute to the growing challenge of antimicrobial resistance; and how air pollution affects our health, including why some people may be more exposed or have fewer opportunities to protect themselves.​ But understanding the science is only part of the conversation. We’ll also ask how we talk about climate change in ways that actually make sense to the communities experiencing it. What happens when the language and imagery commonly used to communicate climate change do not reflect Southeast Asian experiences? And how can we make these conversations more locally relevant, accessible and meaningful?

​

These are big questions, but you don’t need to be a scientist to join the discussion. Our speakers will bring research and real-world perspectives from across infectious disease, environmental health, public engagement and health policy — with plenty of opportunities for you to ask questions, share your own perspectives and think about what climate and health mean in your own life.

​

The event is part of this year’s Bangkok Climate Action Week and its theme, เราลิขิต / RaoLikit: Economy We Shape, Climate We Share. Together, we’ll consider not only the health challenges a changing climate creates, but also how individuals, communities, researchers and policymakers can contribute to healthier and more climate-resilient communities.

​

Whether you work in science, health, policy or education, or are simply curious about what climate change has to do with your health, come join us.
