Sistemas municipais de saúde e mudanças climáticas
Este ensaio crítico analisa a vulnerabilidade dos sistemas municipais de saúde brasileiros ante as mudanças climáticas, evidenciando o descompasso entre marcos normativos e implementação efetiva de políticas adaptativas. A partir de eventos extremos recentes, demonstra-se como os impactos climáticos comprometem simultaneamente a infraestrutura sanitária e ampliam a demanda por serviços, fenômeno caracterizado como "sobrecarga dupla". Os resultado…
From federal transfers and local investments to a potential convergence of Covid-19 and climate change
How can scenarios on flood disaster risk support urban response? A case study in Campinas Metropolitan Area (São Paulo, Brazil)
Extreme events and climate adaptation‐mitigation linkages
It has become increasingly clear that cities will have to simultaneously undertake both adaptation and mitigation in response to accelerating climate change and the growing demands for meaningful climate action. Here we examine the connections between climate mitigation and climate adaptation, specifically, between low‐carbon energy systems and extreme events. The article specifically addresses the question, how do responses to extreme climate ri…
Thriving Communities
Interact for Health is a health conversion foundation serving the three-state region of Greater Cincinnati, Ohio. Its current community change initiative, Thriving Communities, is a community-learning model that helps embed health promotion and advocacy work in communities while those communities build an equitable infrastructure with stakeholders to more rapidly spread evidence-based practices. This article explores the three tools developed for…
Looking in the Mirror
Philanthropy still needs to be reminded that there is no such thing as a post-racial America, and that systemic racism continues to underlie the problems foundation funding attempts to address. While many foundations have found it challenging to address equity in their grantmaking, they have found that process far more comfortable than addressing equity within their own organizations. This article will describe the efforts of three foundations in…
Adaptation actions for integrated climate risk management into urban planning
Many coastal cities have recently recognized the need to adapt to climate change, given the increased frequency of disasters cause by severe weather events. Based on concepts about vulnerability and resilience, we identify the limitations and opportunities of synergy between different areas of municipal action. This paper explores the emerging linkages between city planning process and environmental disasters prevention in Santos (Brazil). To hel…
Social Services in British Industry
In seeking to understand society, sociologists in this set sought to understand social institutions. Here sociologists consider the policy and planning implications of attempts to respond to and meet social needs by the Church, Civil Service, Industry and Voluntary Organizations. This set contains such classic works as Penelope Hall's 'Social Services of Modern England' and Peter Nokes' 'The Professional Task in Welfare Practice'

British Social Work in the Nineteenth Century
An examination of the main branches of social work in Great Britain and their development from their confused beginnings to the state they reached by the nineteenth century. Also discussed are the material changes in the conditions of life that took place in the century, and a brief appraisal of the philosophical and religious ideas that influenced people's minds and affected their attitude to the poor and their approach to social work
