Introduction

I hope to cover three broad areas of interest in this blog:
  1. Health impacts of mitigation and adaptation to climate change (especially inequalities)
  2. Encouraging health professionals to take action
  3. Developing community action to deliver health co-benefits of taking action on climate change
I aim to develop an approach that mirrors health economics - how do we factor in decisions which relate to the natural and social environment into clinical or public health decision making.

Is carbon-footprint labelling of medicines and treatments worthwhile?

How do we get the 'triple bottom-line' of (natural) environmental, social as well as economic capital into the board-room budgeting conversations?

My aim is to inform research and develop educational material for everyone (some focused for professionals) within UK primarily.
