On behalf of the BC Climate Health Network, we are thrilled to share this new report, Climate, Health and COVID-19 in British Columbia (PDF), produced by SFU’s Planetary Health Research Group and the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions (PICS).
This report analyses three areas of health and healthcare delivery that have been impacted by the pandemic and that will likely be impacted by climate change. The researchers identify lessons learned in telemedicine, green infrastructure, and food security, and highlight opportunities for improvement with a focus on increasing equity.
Ultimately, the pandemic provides an opportunity for forward planning which can help the province mitigate and adapt to the growing impacts of climate change.
