Navigating risk and resilience
Communities across British Columbia, Canada, are experiencing direct and cumulative health impacts from extreme weather events, such as heatwaves and wildfires. These impacts exacerbate existing health disparities, especially for communities already vulnerable due to remote geography, socio-economic status, etc. Given this reality, it is valuable for community leaders (e.g., mayors and councillors) to have a sufficient understanding of the local …
Occupational health impacts of climate-related emergency events on health system workers in British Columbia
This study investigates the impacts of climate-related emergency events on health system workers (HSWs) in British Columbia (BC), Canada. By conceptualizing risks faced by the workforce, it also identifies adaptive strategies mitigating climate-related occupational hazards and stresses and generates recommendations to further enhance the resilience of HSWs. A semi-structured interview process with participants (N = 28) from a wide range of HSW ro…

Where are the ecological determinants of health
Canada needs a funding institute focused on environments, health, and societal well-being research
Patient- and Community-Oriented Primary Care Approaches for Health in Rural, Remote and Resource-Dependent Places
Accelerating ecological and societal changes require re-imagining the role of primary care and public health to address eco-social concerns in rural and remote places. In this narrative review, we searched literatures on: community-oriented primary care, patient-oriented research engagement, public health and primary care synergies, and primary care addressing social determinants of health. Our analysis was guided by questions oriented to utility…
Cumulative Impacts of Diverse Land Uses in British Columbia, Canada
(1) Objectives: Cumulative impacts refer to the legacies of land use decisions on environmental, community and health values. New integrative impact assessment tools are required to assess cumulative impacts on diverse values to meet sustainability goals in the 21st century. In this contribution, the CalEnviroScreen methodology-a screening tool capable of merging environmental, socioeconomic and health data-is applied to Local Health Areas in Bri…
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…
Climate change glossary for public health practice
Climate change is an emerging and growing field of practice for the international public health community. As practitioners, researchers and policy-makers grapple with the local health impacts of climate change, there is an increasing need to clarify key terminology to support public health actors engage and respond in ways that promote intersectoral collaboration. This contribution introduces the public health discourse on climate change, with a…
Locating community impacts of unconventional natural gas across the supply chain
Mapping research on resource extraction and health
Current research has been described as inadequate to understand and manage complex social and ecological influences of resource extraction on health. We conducted a scoping review of research on mining or oil & gas extraction and health, to identify patterns and gaps in existing scholarship. Journal articles, peer-reviewed books and book sections published 1995–2015 in English were included, including research on extraction and transport, but not…
We’re all brave pioneers on this road’
Despite significant engagement with new and emerging issues in public health practice, the public health literature has few theoretical explanations for how new practices emerge, take root, and become institutionalized. In this contribution, we utilize Pierre Bourdieu’s sociological concepts of field, habitus and capital, and in-depth interviews with public health practitioners to document and describe the emerging field of public health adaptati…
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…
Why should public health agencies across Canada conduct climate change and health vulnerability assessments
Environmental justice in the environmental non‐governmental organization landscape of Toronto (Canada)
Key Messages Energy policy in Toronto needs to be sensitive to residents' different social and economic positions. The study's findings highlight the extent to which ENGOs are adopting environmental justice in Toronto. In Toronto's neoliberal context, ENGOs have a bridging role between the state and communities
