SUMMARY:Climate & Health Scorecard Planning
DESCRIPTION:At the last big meeting of the Medact Climate & Health Group\, we began discussing a plan to research and assess the action being taken by Royal Colleges and other health institutions on climate change. This research would have a particular focus on high-level actions such as fossil fuel divestment\, declaring a climate emergency and engaging in policy advocacy. \n\n\n\nMore than 1250 health workers so far have signed the letter calling for health and climate justice at COP 26. To build on that and in the year of COP 26\,  it is important that health institutions are using their voice to advocate for Climate Justice. Please join Medact & Health Declares to discuss the next steps of the project and how we organise. \n\n\n\nIf you are unable to join next Wednesday\, but would still like to be involved in the project\, please sign up to our mailing list and we will update following the meeting. If you have any questions at all or would like to speak more about the idea\, then please get in touch – beneder@medact.org. \n\n\n\n[Registration has now closed]

SUMMARY:Health Versus Wealth? UK Economic Policy and Public Health During COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:Our Economic Justice and Health Group’s new briefing will pick apart the Government strategies in response to COVID-19 ─ and in particular the guiding assumptions that public health and economic wealth are in tension. The briefing dispels this myth\, showing that a ‘health versus wealth’ mentality is a false dichotomy. \n\n\n\nIt charts a course of how these assumptions came about to be\, the policies that weakened the social immunity of the UK and laid the ground for one of the highest death tolls in the world and also the deepest economic crisis out of the G7. Importantly it also points to what needs to be done now to protect lives and livelihoods and address health inequalities at their roots. \n\n\n\nWe have lined up some fantastic speakers for the launch: \n\n\n\n\nDr Christina Pagel from Independent Sage will be speaking about the public health response and how we can prevent further lives being lost\n\n\n\nChristine Berry\, an economist\, will be helping us understand the assumptions behind economic policy\, the shortcomings and what needs to be done to protect livelihoods\n\n\n\nOur issue group members and briefing authors Dr Monica Sharman and Daniel Carter will take us through the analysis in the briefing and the recommendations we have made to protect both lives and livelihoods\n\n\n\n\n[Registration has now closed]

SUMMARY:Race & Health Justice Group ─ first online reading group

SUMMARY:Health for a Green New Deal: Action Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, the call for a transformative Green New Deal has been growing at a rapid pace. The COVID-19 pandemic has only intensified the urgency of this cause\, highlighting the need for a recovery that is both socially and ecologically just. What recent challenges have shown us is that we can’t separate the health and wellbeing of our planet from that of our own. The Green New Deal\, a 10-year emergency plan to eliminate emissions and tackle inequality\, presents an opportunity to reprioritise and place good health at the centre of all economic and social planning. \nThe health community has a key role to play in envisioning and demanding these changes. We hope you will join us for this workshop as we begin to build a collaborative plan for the roles that various bodies and institutions can play in bringing about a Green New Deal. \n[Registration has now closed]
