SUMMARY:PHABC Annual Conference 2022 – Our Planet\, Our Health
DESCRIPTION:  \nRegistration is now on! Click here to join us in Victoria this November!\n  \nDraft Program at a Glance Released!! Check out the great line up of speakers\, presentations and workshops HERE.\n  \nAbout the Conference\nPHABC is pleased to share this year’s conference topic: “Our Planet\, Our Health: Creating Well-Being Societies and Making Peace with Nature.” The conference topic was inspired by recent WHO and UN initiatives\, as well as the importance of recognizing the role Indigenous knowledge has in creating a healthy relationship between humans and the Earth. \nThere is local and global urgency to focus on making peace with nature. According to the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres\, “Humanity is waging war on nature. This is suicidal.” (December 2020). The UN 2021 report Making Peace with Nature further identified climate change\, biodiversity loss and pollution as a “triple crisis” that threatens our well-being. \nCreating well-being societies is dependent on making peace with nature and focusing on ecojustice and applying an eco-social approach to everything we do. The public health community has an opportunity here to weave eco-social approaches into their work to address both ecological and social injustices. Creating a truly healthy public will only be possible if we work together to create healthy\, sustainable and equitable communities. \nConference Themes and Structure\nTo invigorate public health practice\, education and research towards a healthy\, just and sustainable future. The conference plenary sessions will focus on four inter-related themes: \n\nMaking Peace with Nature for Public Health\nEcojustice/Eco-social Equity and Public Heath\nWell-being Societies\nLocal (Practice) and Action\n\nClick here to read more about our Conference Goals & Objectives!\n  \nAccreditation\nRoyal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada\nFor information on how this activity fits in the Royal College Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Program\, please visit the Royal College’s website (royalcollege.ca/moc).
