The second panel of the Spring 2019 Liam's Legacy will engage global perspectives; however, both panels will highlight the connectedness of local and global community health challenges and innovations. Featured panelists include David Addiss of the Task Force for Global Health, Hope Bussenius of Emory's Urban Health Initiative, and Rihana Nesrudin of Oakhurst Medical Center. Hence, the symposium also explores how professionals from different disciplines and sectors view the concept of "community health" through the specific lenses of the communities--whether here in Atlanta or abroad-- with which they work.

In August 2015, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released the Clean Power Plan, which aims to
reduce carbon pollution from the U.S. power sector to 32% below 2005 levels by 2030. Georgia must
submit its initial state plan for implementing the Clean Power Plan by September 2016. Georgia Tech and
Climate@Emory are co-hosting a Town Hall meeting to explore the key decisions Georgia must make in
developing its state plan and the potential impacts these decisions will have on our environment, our
economy, our pocketbooks and our health. This event is intended to engage a broad range of
stakeholders, including policymakers, practitioners, students, and the general public.
