🎧Podcasts lieben wir! Und freuen uns deshalb sehr über das neue Format "Zukunft gestalten - Der #Podcast über #PlanetaryHealth". Immer 2-wöchentlich donnerstags gibt es eine neue Folge. Wunderbar! 🙂
In Episode 3 kommen u.a. Gäste vom #KongressAuG2025 zu Wort: https://planetary-health-academy.de/podcasts.
📢 #NewStudy in @thelancet #PlanetaryHealth by Wan, Gampe & Hajat, investigating an often-underrepresented factor in #ClimateHealth research: 𝗮𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘀 - tiny particles in the atmosphere that reflect sunlight & may have a net cooling effect 🌡️
🗝️-𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀:
💡 Aerosol-driven cooling masked hundreds of heat-related deaths in the 20th century
💡 Mid-range emissions scenario: heat-related deaths could rise 2–6× by 2100.

Without acknowledgement/facing off the class struggle in science, technology & medicine, and the attendant historical, colonial, structural and gendered injustices whose legacies continue today, achieving a democratic, just and egalitarian science, healthcare, medicine, and innovation is not possible.

Fascinating as well as devastating* – night lights @OpenInfraMap
https://en.osm.town/@OpenInfraMap/113801240326057941
* night lights are bad for biodiversity and health of mankind as well as plants and animals. All living creatures in lighted areas will lack deep sleep and rest. Adaptions are in progress, but slowly.

Interessante Umfrage der Barmer KK und des FAZ-Instituts (VÖ: Ärzteblatt):
Immerhin 60 Prozent der Menschen in Deutschland sind sich bewusst, dass Klima und Gesundheit zusammenhängen, jedoch rechnen nur 41 Prozent bis 2030 mit persönlichen Folgen. #planetaryhealth https://www.aerzteblatt.de/news/mehrheit-der-deutschen-konnte-auswirkungen-des-klimawandels-auf-die-eigene-gesundheit-unterschatzen-5f8bab11-e8ee-4c65-b1a4-6aff43af6d6b
🌍🧑🌾 Damit #Landwirtschaft planetare Grenzen einhalten kann, müssen sich die Ernährungsmuster drastisch ändern. Doch warum ist das so schwer? Und wie kommen wir von immer neuen Vorschlägen und Kommissionspapieren zu einer gelingenden #Ernährungswende?
Mit diesen Fragen beschäftigt sich die neue Ausgabe von Ökologie & Landbau und ihrem Themenschwerpunkt »Die Zukunft der Ernährung«.

How much does climate change really cost our health?
In many African regions, the answer is already becoming clear: rising temperatures, shrinking water sources, food insecurity, and the spread of diseases like malaria are putting intense pressure on health systems. These aren’t separate problems—they’re all deeply connected.
In our new article (with Walter Leal, Gouvidé Jean GBAGUIDI, Wassa Diarrassouba), we explored how climate change is driving up health costs across Africa. Using spatio-temporal mapping and a broad review of the literature, we show how these impacts are growing over time and space—and why it’s urgent to act now.

"Health co-benefits of climate mitigation policies are expected to manifest in the short term, are not conditioned to global coordinated climate action, and can outweigh the costs of mitigation policies, highlighting how health co-benefits can drive impactful mitigation action."
