#ClimateHealthSolutions #UrbanFlooding #EquitableAdaptation #ScienceBasedPolicy 🌍🚨 Climate Change & Health Initiative: Discover our video series where authors discuss their case studies from the newly published 'Climate Change and Health: Science-based Policy Solutions,' in collaboration with Save the Children. In Tamale, #Ghana, urban flooding exacerbated by climate change and urbanization is addressed through a project under the Pathways to Equitable Healthy Cities partnership. This initiative aims to promote equitable climate adaptation by understanding flood risk distribution and its drivers. A transdisciplinary team, including Cynthia Awuni and Ben C. Howard, works with local communities, traditional leaders, NGOs and government agencies to co-produce effective solutions using mixed-methods approaches like interviews, risk mapping, and sensor technology.

#ClimateHealthSolutions 📢 Climate Change & Health Initiative: Interviews with Case Study Authors 📢 In our new series of video interviews, authors present their case studies from the recently published 'Climate Change and Health: Science-based Policy Solutions', a collaboration between IAP and Save the Children International. South Africa is confronting growing challenges due to extreme heat, significantly impacting public health. Dr. Caradee Wright, a lead researcher at the South African Medical Research Council, has spearheaded a study on this critical issue. Her research focuses on the severe effects of extreme heat on public health, particularly among vulnerable populations like women and children in primary healthcare settings. The findings stress the urgent need for targeted interventions and resilience strategies to mitigate heat-related health risks effectively. 🌡️👩⚕️ Watch the full interview with Dr. Wright to learn more about her impactful work: https://lnkd.in/d2N_pSju Follow us with the hashtag #ClimateHealthSolutions to stay updated on the latest insights and developments
