Under the Weather

Your Climate and Climate North East jointly hosted this special half day event on the morning of 28 February 2014 in York to support the launch of a new health and social care adaptation toolkit called 'Under the Weather'.

The aim of the event was to introduce the new toolkit and assist health professionals and colleagues to understand how climate change adaptation is important in their local area and how climate change adaptation can be profiled as part of a Health & Wellbeing Board's portfolio of work.

Expert speakers presented the case for integrating adaptation into Joint Strategic Needs Assessments (JSNAs) and local Health and Wellbeing Strategies, explaining how this can help to complement local objectives to improve health and wellbeing, integrate health and care, reduce health inequalities, and meet statutory requirements.

The presentation slide pack from the day is available to download now together with the Under the Weather toolkit.
