CHI member and Director of the Sumner M. Redstone Global Center for Prevention and Wellness, and CHI member and Doctoral student, Sydney Pryor, published a paper in Current Obesity Reports, entitled 'How Can We Act to Mitigate the Global Syndemic of Obesity, Undernutrition, and Climate Change?' This review paper builds on an earlier publication that described the Global Syndemic of Obesity, Undernutrition, and Climate Change, and aims to identify dietary and active transport strategies that mitigate effects contributing to the syndemic.
