Climate, Health, and Wellbeing examines the critical impacts of a changing climate on physical and mental health, bolstering emerging strengths in this area in social anthropology and medicine. In scoping work at Climate Week in May, we found excellent balance of staff interest in these topics and their intersections, with many staff identifying with multiple topics.
The Centre for Changing Climates contributed to the People’s Emergency Briefing screening and panel discussion, hosted by Transition St Andrews, as part of a series of PEB events across the UK.
Hosted by sister centre STACCS, the showcase brought together initiatives in sustainability, environment, and climate at St Andrews. This allowed relationship building and a better understanding of the breadth and complementarity of different initiatives.
As part of Sustainability week, the Centre for Changing Climates hosted a popular afternoon of research talks and discussion on The IPCC in a Changing Climate, featuring IPCC Chair, Professor Sir Jim Skea, alongside leading thinkers on climate at St Andrews across multiple disciplines.
