Solastalgia: Climate change and public health in British Columbia

Climate change is a complex and daunting global challenge, but its specific impacts can manifest at relatively small spatial scales. This is particularly relevant for BC, which has a large landmass, a complex topography, and a low population density in many areas. We are already experiencing different climatic changes at different speeds, and the public health impacts of these changes can vary by location and population susceptibility. This talk will provide an overview of the most pressing climate threats in BC, the relevant health research, the evidence gaps, and the challenges ahead.
