Episode 29 of the Saving the World webinar series features Dr Sophie Robinson discussing her research on governance for climate resilient development in healthcare.
Healthcare systems are increasingly recognised as critical arenas for advancing climate resilient development, yet the governance arrangements that enable or constrain this remain poorly understood. This webinar synthesises research from three sites —Thailand, the United Kingdom, and Australia to help illuminate common barriers and enablers of governing for climate resilient development in healthcare. Sophie will also discuss the importance of extending the boundaries existing health and governance paradigms to better embed social-ecological and socio-cognitive factors.
The ‘Saving the World’ webinar series, presented by the Planetary Health Equity Hothouse, releases a new episode each month, discussing the intersections between climate change, inequity and human health. The webinars focus on actions that enable transformative change away from the harmful consumptogenic system to systems that promote good health, social equity and environmental wellbeing.
