The 5th Festival on Citizen Participation and Deliberative Democracy 12-14 June. Restoring our environment goes hand in hand with our democracy. Science is clear that we need to change, but how do we get from accepting that we need to change to agreeing on how to change? I believe that JRC?research can highlight new opportunities in this interplay.?From our portfolio on #GreenTransition, and Knowledge Centre on biodiversity, to our Competence Centre on Participatory and Deliberative Democracy, we produce essential knowledge for @European Commission on these topics.?? JRC is a research institution placed at the centre of European policymaking.?This allows us to reflect on how the questions at the intersection of environment, the green transition and #democracy can be tackled in a democratic institution.??? Here, we believe that the citizens are the experts. They have a living experience of ecological crises and are also resourceful when it comes to solutions. Including them in our democratic processes can be the critical means for addressing environmental issues.?? By involving citizens in developing policy and adaptation measures, we can ensure their individual situations, expectations and vulnerabilities are known and listened to.? ?? This is by no means a small task.? ?? This is why at the JRC we study the field of democratic innovations taking place, in the form of citizen panels, citizen assemblies, participatory budgeting exercises, and more. And I want to invite everyone to join us in reflecting on what these forms of #CitizenEngagement mean for our present and future.? This festival is all about reflection. I had the pleasure of opening the 5th edition of the Citizen Participation and Deliberative Democracy Festival, along with @Richard Kuehnel and @Humberto Delgado Rosa.? ?? If you're attending the Festival, come and have a conversation with us! ?

Professionals working in environmental public health, healthcare, and healthcare systems benefit from building partnerships and fostering cross-sector and cross-disciplinary dialogue, which can create robust networks that facilitate cooperation and coordination. The recent column from the U.S. EPA’s Office of Research and Development in the December 2023 Journal of Environmental Health explores elevating the importance of environmental public health and partnership with healthcare professionals. neha.org/current-issue

?? Honored to Speak at the 10th Annual International Conference on Public Health ?? I am thrilled to announce my participation in the 10th Annual International Conference on Public Health, hosted by the Athens Institute for Education & Research. It was an honor to present on the topic "Igniting Change: Tackling Zoonotic Diseases, Climate Change, and Health Inequities through Sustainable Farming and Legal Reform." Sharing this research with an international crowd of public health experts was incredibly impactful. Addressing these critical issues on a global scale is essential for building a more equitable, humane, and sustainable future. ?Learn more here??: https://lnkd.in/ebqcDH3x #PublicHealth #AnimalProtection #ClimateChange #GlobalCooperation

FREE ONLINE EVENT: Monday, February 12, 10:00-11:00am ET – Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health presents, “Environment, Health and Justice: The Power of Community and Inter-disciplinary Science.” Speaker: Ana Navas-Acien, Professor of Environmental Health Sciences, Columbia University. This keynote presentation will discuss the role of addressing environmental exposures to improve people’s health and advance environmental justice with a focus on communities that are affected by hazardous metal exposures from abandoned mines in the Northern Plains and the Southwest. Different types of data, the synergistic impact of multi-disciplinary approaches and interventions, and the role of traditional knowledge and data sovereignty will be presented.

Sign up to the Modern Slavery and Human Rights Policy and Evidence Centre lunchtime seminar to hear about the Bethany Jackson Rights Lab and University of Nottingham School of Geography research on combined governance and action on modern slavery and climate change in the UK. Wednesday 21 February 2024, 12pm (midday, UK time). This session will be of interest to anyone working on either modern slavery or climate change, or both, who is interested in better understanding the links between those two issues and how we can do more to address them together. Climate change is a global crisis that requires urgent intervention. To combat climate change, we need to address what drives it as well as protecting against its effects. Modern slavery can be both a driver of climate change and an outcome of a changing climate. But how can modern slavery and climate change be addressed together? This session will present the outcomes from a research project undertaken in 2023, alongside partners Transparentem and International Justice Mission UK, that set out to explore how the UK (and devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) are currently tackling that challenge. The seminar will explore the key findings from that project and share recommendations for how policy responses to climate change and modern slavery could be improved, including through better lived experience engagement.

Recommending this forthcoming free webinar, held by the World Health Organization European Centre for Environment and Health. ?? Monday, 11 December, 10.00–11.30 CET. Registrations: https://lnkd.in/eTNpyy6m Environmental conditions are a major determinant of health and well-being, but they are not the same for everyone everywhere. Inequalities in environmental risk are interlinked with almost all environmental challenges, including exposure to air pollution, noise, inadequate housing, energy and water supply, climate change or lack of access to nature. ? On the occasion of Human Rights Day, this webinar will provide an introduction into the environment as a human right, present data on urban environmental health inequalities in Europe, and review the coverage of environmental equity aspects in national action on sustainable development. The provisional programme and speakers are attached in the webinar announcement. ? The event will be in English with simultaneous Russian translation. Participation is at no cost.

Why do I love citizen science? ?? Because it is rooted in making science, research, and decision-making spaces accessible to *everyone* !? ???????????????????????? Citizen science is the use of scientific methods by the general public, often in collaboration with scientists, to answer questions about the world and solve issues of concern. We see citizen science employed in areas like environmental monitoring, conservation, and it’s expanding to other types of research (eg. health)???? I believe knowledge is power, and the key to effective change means you need everyone involved. For me, at the root, this starts with engaging, exchanging knowledge & co-creating with communities. As I remember hearing at a European Forum for Primary Care (EFPC) conference, “populations aren’t hard to reach…we are.” ?? I couldn't agree more. That's why I’m excited to share my first short video of my journey to citizen science, from witnessing the?devastating effects of the La Pampilla oil spill in Peru, to building a citizen science water quality monitoring lab program after joining San Francisco chapter of The Surfrider Foundation - with now over 60 volunteers of all ages and backgrounds!?It's incredible what we can grow together. I’ve never made a post like this before, but in honor of Nowruz and the Spring Equinox, it’s time to nurture something new ?? #citizenscience #communityengagement #research #environmentaljustice #environmentalhealth #new
