Distinguished Lecture by our Pro-Chancellor of Malaysia, Tan Sri Dr Jemilah Mahmood

Staff, students and alumni attended a Distinguished Lecture on 3 October 2022 by our Pro-Chancellor of Malaysia, Tan Sri Dr Jemilah Mahmood, on the topic: Planetary Health or Human Extinction? The choice is ours.

"Planetary Health offers us a lens of looking at all the complex contributions of environment, politics, social and health on people’s lives. Unless we address Planetary Health and make this a priority, we will always be trying to catch up with more crises, more pandemics, more disasters, and more suffering for everyone. Education plays such an important role in our shared understanding. We all deserve an environment and a planet that is healthier than what it is now."
