The 8th Lanson Lecture in Bioethics – Climate Change, Health, and the Right to a Healthy Environment
The world we inhabit is changing at a pace that challenges not only our environment but also the very foundations of human health and dignity.

To address these urgent questions, CUHK Centre for Bioethics is honored to host The 8th Lanson Lecture in Bioethics – Climate Change, Health, and the Right to a Healthy Environment, a distinguished lecture exploring the moral dimensions of our shared future.
