Climate Change & Public Health

In this Podcast we interview Tamsin Ellis and Zoe Garbett. Tamsin is a GP and Zoe is the Assistant Director, Communities in the North Central London Clinical Commissioning Group (CCGO)

In this Podcast we will be discussing the World Heath Organisation’s (WHO) declaration that the climate emergency is a health emergency and how this can be tackled at a local level.

Tamsin has been involved in Sustainable Healthcare and Greener Practice London which brings together GPs to address the climate emergency. And Zoe has established a network of statutory health organisations and civil society groups to do this as well.

We will discuss what they have been doing both to help mitigate climate change as well as develop strategies to adapt to the changes that will happen because of greenhouse gas emissions.

We will also discuss the importance of establishing collaborative networks to address the climate emergency in a strategic way.
