The role of climate change anxiety in shaping childrearing intentions among people living in British Columbia
Introduction: Climate change concerns have emerged as a factor in shaping childrearing intentions. Given extreme weather events, climate change-related anxiety has increased drastically in the region of British Columbia (BC), Canada. This study explored how worry about an increasingly uncertain future may be associated with people's childrearing intentions in BC. Methods: = 441) to examine the association between climate change anxiety [measured …
Promoting community health and climate justice co-benefits
Climate change is an environmental crisis, a health crisis, a socio-political and an economic crisis that illuminates the ways in which our human-environment relationships are arriving at crucial tipping points. Through these relational axes, social structures, and institutional practices, patterns of inequity are produced, wherein climate change disproportionately impacts several priority populations, including rural and remote communities. To m…

Easy as riding a bike? Bicycling competence as (re)learning to negotiate space
Safety concerns, notably sharing road space with motor traffic, pose barriers for bicycling. To address safety concerns, bicycle courses are designed to provide skills and know-how for bicyclists to share road space with traffic. This paper used Social Practice Theory combined with a critical gender lens to examine the impact of a bicycle course for women living in Vancouver, Canada. We aimed to: 1) describe bicycling competences and associated m…
Place-based Climate Change Communication and Engagement in Canada’s Provincial North
This paper explores how climate change communication is understood and enacted in Canada’s Provincial North (CPN), with a focus on the role that local climate champions play in regions characterized by rurality, remoteness, and a high degree of reliance on natural resource industries. Drawing from 24 in-depth interviews with individuals increasing local attention to climate in Northern British Columbia and Ontario, this research identifies commun…

The inaugural gathering of The Environment Community Health Observatory (ECHO) Network is a network of academic, non-profit, and health authority scholars and practitioners committed to understanding and responding to the cumulative impacts of resource extraction. The Network is embedded within multiple jurisdictions and institutional contexts, reflecting the Network’s efforts to work across sectors to address questions arising in communities and…

Preparing for the future of public health
As a collective organized to address the education implications of calls for public health engagement on the ecological determinants of health, we, the Ecological Determinants Group on Education (cpha.ca/EDGE), urge the health community to properly understand and address the importance of the ecological determinants of the public's health, consistent with long-standing calls from many quarters-including Indigenous communities-and as part of an ec…

Public health guide to field developments linking ecosystems, environments and health in the Anthropocene
The impacts of global environmental change have precipitated numerous approaches that connect the health of ecosystems, non-human organisms and humans. However, the proliferation of approaches can lead to confusion due to overlaps in terminology, ideas and foci. Recognising the need for clarity, this paper provides a guide to seven field developments in environmental public health research and practice: occupational and environmental health; poli…
West Nile virus
The West Nile virus (WNV), as it was presented in the texts and discourses on the Public Health Agency of Canada's (PHAC) website during its initial emergence, was an effect of the kinds of knowledge, techniques of power and disciplinary apparatuses that operate on that website and in society. With reference to Michel Foucault's relations of power, this article offers an approach for translating theories of power into techniques and technologies …
