The climate is changing, and this is affecting our environment, how we live, work, what we eat, and ultimately our health. This is particularly the case for people in vulnerable communities. For World Environment Day, in this bitesize episode of The Scan we discuss the environment health nexus with two speakers, about work in India.
Research Manager Sarah Iqbal speaks with Mr Gangaram Paikra, a local leader, activist and one of the founder members of Chaupal, a community-led initiative focusing on the right to food working with marginalised and poor communities. Sarah also speaks with Dr. Sahiba Kohli, a Research Fellow at NIHR Global Health Research Center for Non-Communicable Diseases and Environmental Change.

As the climate changes, how can we protect our food systems and our health?

In this bitesize episode we speak with researcher Benjamin Talbot about measuring the carbon footprint of health care and research. Ben demonstrates how emissions can be measured and encourages everyone to keep the planet and protection of the planet at the forefront of our minds and in what we're doing.

What are we doing to ensure sex and gender is included in health research?

In this bitesize episode we speak with Alice Witt who speaks about a significant step towards closing the sex and gender health gap in the UK. Until now most UK medical research has been conducted primarily with male participants, animals or cells, and studies rarely analyse data in a way that enables potential sex or gender differences in outcomes to be identified. The Medical Science Sex and Gender Equity (MESSAGE) project has been working to change this, developing a landmark sex and gender policy framework for UK research funders.  

Poor attention to sex and gender has led to critical data gaps in the evidence base, with detrimental effects on health outcomes for all people, but particularly women and girls, as well as trans, non-binary and intersex people.
