Join C2E2 for a spotlight session featuring Glory Apantaku.
Canada’s escalating climate emergencies are generating health burdens that test institutions and individuals alike. Drawing on interviews with B.C. community leaders and a national survey of 2,104 Canadian adults, this presentation examines how health risk perception shapes adaptation at both the community and individual levels. Across both studies, understanding health risk drives adaptive action. The session will invite attendees to consider the role of health researchers in generating the evidence needed to support health-protective climate adaptation.
