Very worrying, will impact health, productivity & agriculture. Need to come up with solutions esp to protect those who are most vulnerable. City planning needs major change - less concrete & glass, more blue-green spaces, affordable cooling technologies - & more research

In implementation work, the assumption that sharing facts and evidence alone will drive behavior change is common.

But we know better. Having KNOWLEDGE does not guarantee change.

A thought-provoking visual by Tracy Tang sheds light on the realities of supporting change.

I can attest to this!

It’s been two months since I joined Duke-NUS Medical School Medical School, and my experience has been awesome so far!

Last week, after #WHSMelbourne2024 , Adnan Hyder from Milken Institute SPH & chair of Health Systems Global visited us at SingHealth Duke-NUS Global Health Institute 🇸🇬

One of my personal role models, his life journey gives me lots of insights for my mission to advance the new field of #PlanetaryHealth 🌏

To more collabs soon 🤗

With #ClimateChange , this is going to be annual occurrence

Calling World Health Organization (WHO) Western Pacific & World Health Organization South-East Asia as well as ASEAN & SAARC to convene a regional task force for heatproofing Asia

Let’s mobilize the best talent to build heat-resilient communities, nations & region!

You make a short, simple, and straightforward tweet

Someone overinterprets, interrogates, and debates with you about your tweet

The person then realizes that what you said is what you said

You still get blamed for writing a short, simple, and straightforward tweet

🙈🙈🙈

Last week outside #WHSMelbourne2024 , spoke about #HealthSystems in the era of #ClimateChange at the #Philippines 🇵🇭- #Australia 🇦🇺 Forum Philippines-Australia Forum at La Trobe University at La Trobe University Uni in #Melbourne

Grateful to Director Raul Sanchez Urribarri & Rei Fortes - may this be the start of our #PlanetaryHealth 🌏 collab!

Our #FutureWorld must be a good state of #PlanetaryHealth ! 🌏

#Family #Weekend #Museum #Singapore 🇸🇬

Applicable for countries that are part of a single land mass (like Europe) & for regions w/ efficient land transport systems (interconnected railways)

Equity must be central to climate action - esp for LMICs, island nations, regions where land travel isn’t always available

My visitors for the weekend! 🤪 #GuintoFamily in #Singapore 🇸🇬

Lovely meeting you Adnan Hyder in two cities within a week! #Melbourne 🇦🇺 #Singapore 🇸🇬

Thanks for visiting our humble #GlobalHealth institute with a #PlanetaryHealth ambition! 🌏

You are one of my role models. Thanks for setting a positive example 🤗

At #WHSMelbourne2024 w/ Lucas de Toca, #Australia ’s Dr Lucas de Toca #GlobalHealth 🇳🇿

Originally from Spain, Lucas & I had funny yet heartfelt convos about the shared history of #Philippines 🇵🇭 & #Spain 🇪🇸 - both the good & not-so-good🤪

Let’s advance #PlanetaryHealth together!🌏

Always a pleasure meeting and listening to Helen Clark, Former New Zealand 🇳🇿 Prime Minister and one of the world’s staunchest champions of #GlobalHealth and #PlanetaryHealth 🌏

#WHSMelbourne2024 #Melbourne #Australia 🇦🇺

Research funders and institutes around the world must follow this initiative!

#PlanetaryHealth requires the mobilization of all sciences - not just ecological and social sciences, not only public health and health system sciences, but also the basic sciences of biology and chemistry

Our today’s challenges are multi-level, multi-scalar, multi-directional

Congratulations to my #PlanetaryHealth friends in UMC Utrecht

In May we will have the second meeting of the World Health Organization (WHO) Technical Advisory Group on the Ethics of Climate & Health

I’ll share about your new collaborating center and it may lead to more collabs!
