Prevention Science and Climate Action: Charting a course of involvement

James Harvey (ISSUP staff) - 11 May 2021

On May 26, the Society For Prevention Research (SPR) International Committee International Networking Forum will hold a session on "Prevention Science and Climate Action: Charting a course of involvement". During this International Forum Discussion, three approaches widely incorporated in prevention science will be presented as frameworks for engaging and collaborating on relevant SDGs and global efforts that address the intersection of climate action and public health: 1) Healthy youth development (individual and family-level important in the context of climate action); 2) Community-based approaches (community participatory models); and 3) Policy. The session will open with three “TED-like talks” that focus on policy discussion using a public health lens, theories of behavior change, and systems science to address the interconnectedness of policy development with the psychological and sociological aspects of climate change.  Please click here for full event details and how to register for the main session and breakout discussions.
