Social Life Talks: "Ensuring a Healthier Future on a Changing Planet" - a podcast by Cape Cod Church Podcast

What should it mean to us that wildlife extinctions are accelerating? That freshwater sources are increasingly polluted? And that the last five years have been the earth's warmest on record? Planetary health is not often talked about in Christian communities, but global environmental changes threaten the world's most vulnerable communities. In this special feature from our young adult ministry Social Life, oceanographer Dr. Amalia Aruda Almada will explain...

... why global environmental changes like these threaten human health,

... why planetary health impacts hit the world's poorest and most vulnerable communities the hardest, and

...what actions we—as individuals and faith communities—can take to create a healthier and more equitable future for all.

Dr. Almada (PhD MIT/WHOI) is the previous Senior Program Manager at Harvard University's Planetary Health Alliance and current Provost Postdoctoral Fellow at University of Southern California—as well as a self-described "policy wonk" and proud member of the Cape Cod Church family!
