Center for Global Development 39d ago

The Center for Global Development is hosting its Second Annual Research Conference on Global Lead Exposure. The conference will convene researchers, policymakers, and implementers, all working to stamp out global lead poisoning. In the last couple of years we have seen unprecedented growth of interest in lead exposure, with the launch of the Partnership for a Lead-Free Future, the Lead Exposure Action Fund, and the Bloomberg Philanthropies Lead Poisoning Prevention Initiative. To make the most of available resources and galvanise further action, we need data on which sources of exposure are the highest priority to tackle, and what interventions are most cost-effective. Join us on 3-4 June, in London, as we bring together researchers from across disciplines, including environment, health, epidemiology, chemistry, economics, engineering, and dentistry—alongside implementers, policymakers, and funders—to translate research into action for a lead-free future.
