Professor Anthony Clayton, The UWI’s leading expert in foresighting and future-oriented planning, has been recruited by The Inter-Academy Partnership (IAP) to participate in an initiative to assemble solutions for climate change and health policies. The IAP is a network of over 140 national science academies and 30,000 scientists, engineers and health professionals in over 100 countries.

It will lead a global programme to encourage multisectoral, systems- based studies and policies needed, with the goal of embedding these ideas into government thinking and practice.

Professor Clayton will join the committee that will review the best available solutions to sustain human health and welfare under the severe challenges of climate change and choose those that are to go forward to world governments.
