ALT ILAE climate change commission www.ilae.org/climate-change "Research into the brainâs temperature control systems in epilepsy is not a new idea but new technologies and better models allows us to probe with greater sophistication the function of different brain regions and cell types, to manipulate single genes and pathways, and to use a toolbox of animal models which model various types of epilepsy."

ALT ILAE Climate Change Commission www.ilae.org/climate-change "In this Anthropocene era of climate emergency, we need to actively recognise that the planet, and all its species and its ecosystems are interconnected and interdependent. This should be a core principle in everything we do, as individuals, organisations, and as a society â and as healthcare professionals. "

ALT ILAE Climate Change Commission "Whilst redefining how we eat needs a focus on complex systems, incentives, and regulations, with communities and governments at multiple levels, by choosing a plant-based diet and promoting it in our individual and institutional activities (for instance in ILAE-organized congresses and meetings), we can contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, help drive demand and provide an example, whilst improving our own health as a co-benefit." www.ilae.org/climate-change

ALT ILAE Climate Change Commission âIn recent years, ILAE has recognised that climate change poses a significant threat to the lives and wellbeing of people with epilepsy and to the work of professionals in the field. Studies across human health are also clearly indicating that adverse weather conditions may lead to an increased disease burden. Epilepsy is not an exception and preliminary studies are suggesting certain types of epilepsies may be affected by changes in climate change. Sustainability issues also need to be addressed in our daily work practices, whether in the lab or in the clinic.â www.ilae.org/climate-change
