SUMMARY:Forum 2016 - Healthy Planet\, Better World
DESCRIPTION:Human health is dependent on a healthy environment. Yet we are damaging ecosystems and depleting natural resources in ways that undermine our ability to sustain healthy and equitable societies. \nClimate change\, desertification\, ocean acidification and biodiversity loss are among many ecological threats to health. These impact on health via multiple pathways that include reducing food and water security\, altering disease patterns\, increasing the frequency of extreme weather events\, and multiplying the risk of conflict. \nThe threats posed by climate change and wider environmental degradation are serious. According to a Lancet-UCL Commission\, climate change could be “sufficient to trigger a discontinuity in the long-term progression of humanity”. Indeed\, on the basis of current emission trajectories\, “temperature rises in the next 85 years may be incompatible with an organised global community”. \nHowever\, the challenge this represents also presents a number of opportunities to promote health\, both short and long-term. These include reducing air pollution\, promoting active forms of transport\,  healthier food systems\, and working towards a fairer\, more equal economy and society. \nThe health community has both a mandate and an interest in calling for the social\, political and economic actions required to mitigate and adapt to environmental change. \nFor more details about the event see: the conference page\nFor recordings and resources see: presentation resources from the conference

SUMMARY:Are we still in the Age of Stupid?
DESCRIPTION:The Age of Stupid was an award-winning film made in 2009. Set in 2055\, in a world ravaged by catastrophic climate change\, an archivist (Pete Postlethwaite) reviews archival footage back “when we could have saved ourselves”\, trying to discern where it all went wrong. Seven years on from the film’s release\, do we still need to ask if we are living in ‘the age of stupid?’\nJoin Age of Stupid producer Lizzie Gillet\, Guardian’s environment editor John Vidal\, Chief Executive of London Cycling Campaign Ashok Sinha\, and The Grantham Institute for Climate Change’s Professor Joanna Haigh\, to review  clips from the original film and explore the question – Are we still in the Age of Stupid?\n\n\n
