ANHE Global Nurses Climate Change Committee Monthly Call - September 2021
2021-09-16 17:00 - 18:00
ANHE Global Nurses Climate Change Committee: September 16th at 5pm ET/2pm PST on Zoom. Lisa Del Buono will join the September call as we explore the relative effectiveness of a variety of policies from electrifying our transportation system to improving energy efficiency and regenerative agriculture using MIT’s EN-ROADS global climate action simulator. At a time when Congress is deciding the best ways to address the climate crisis with equity in mind, Lisa believes that health professionals should support all the tools in the toolbox, including a price on carbon designed in ways that would benefit those who have suffered disproportionately from the burning and extraction of fossil fuels. Lisa is a recently retired doc who is one of the State Coordinators for Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL), co-leads the CCL Health Action Team, and is the Executive Director of Michigan Clinicians for Climate Action (MiCCA).

Gibran C. Mancus, PhD, RN is an Assistant Professor
at The University of Alabama Capstone College of Nursing in Tuscaloosa.
Title: Exploring greenspace, leisure time physical activity and mental health in the southeastern United States.
There is a growing body of evidence that vegetation where people live is associated with positive mental health. Little is known about the effect these relationships in southern states with more rural population. This study explored the complex relationships between poor mental health, leisure time physical activity and enhanced vegetation index aggregated at the census tract in Alabama. We found those living with more greenness were less likely to have excessive poor mental health days and less likely to not engage in leisure time physical activity.

Guillaume Chevance, PhD Presentation: Thinking Health-related Behaviors in a Climate Change Context
2021-10-07 11:00 - 13:00
On October 7th at 11am, Dr. Guillaume Chevance will give a Grand Rounds presentation on: Thinking Health-related Behaviors in a Climate Change Context.
Human activities have changed the biosphere so profoundly over the past two centuries that human induced climate change is now posing serious health-related treats to the current and future generations. Rapid actions from all scientific fields are needed to contribute to both the mitigation and adaption to climate change. This presentation will discuss the bi-directional associations between climate change effects (i.e., rising average temperatures, natural disasters, air pollution, rising sea level) and health-related behaviors, as well as a set of key actions/propositions for the behavioral medicine community.

Speaker Bio:
Dr. Guillaume Chevance has a background in sport sciences. He received his PhD in Human Movement Sciences from the University of Montpellier (France) in 2017. The objective of his thesis was to understand the role of specific motivational factors in the adoption and maintenance of an active lifestyle during and after rehabilitation programs. After his PhD, Dr. Chevance started a postdoc at the University of California San Diego (US) in a team interested in the design of eHealth interventions, and notably recognized for their applications of control system engineering methods to the development of apps supporting behavior change. Dr. Chevance then joined ISGlobal (Barcelona, Spain), a leading European institution in Global/Planetary Health, in October 2020 as a tenure-track assistant research professor and head of the eHealth group. He is interested in the dynamics of health behavior change in the context of climatic changes. For that purpose, he uses digital technologies (i.e., accelerometers, smartphones, mobile apps, online datasets) to better understand, and sometimes influence, what is going on in our daily lives.

Hi Everyone – This month we have two special guests! First we’ll hear from Liani Eccles, a DNP-PMHNP student at the University of Arizona. As part of her DNP project she is educating nurses on the current research on PFAS exposure and autism.

Then we’ll hear from Sarah Bucic, an amazing nurse advocate who is currently working for ANHE on advocacy around the Build Back Better budget and the infrastructure package. She’ll help us untangle these complex pieces of legislation, talk about how ANHE has been engaging, and provide examples of how you can be involved around these bills.

Hope you can join us!
Katie, Anne, and Kathy
