Health and climate change: the case of ragweed pollen allergy

A round-table was held the 27th of January in Lyon focused on the allergy to ragweed pollens in a near future considering the climate change.

About 110 people from France and Belgium participated to this round-table.

The main topics covered were about:

  • state-of-the-art and which evolutions in France?
  • allergy to ragweed, a public health major issue
  • which new perspectives to enhance the fight against ragweed and improve the management of allergy sufferers?
