Energy Systems That Protect Climate and Health in South Africa
Wellcome Trust
Public Health Association Of South Africa
We aim to primarily disseminate HCN’s messages on Energy Systems That Protect Climate and Health to government and civil society so as to promote health- centred climate policy and advocacy in South Africa.Expected outcomes: • A database of audiences for a targeted dissemination campaign; • a social media campaign about the key HCN messages; • press releases with AMREF and the SA Medical Association; • monthly webinars about climate and health at COP26; • regular engagement with HCN global partners in the run up to COP26; • a published journal paper about the campaign; • an online resource for public health educators and professionals about protecting public health from climate change, and educating for sustainable healthcare, which incorporate key HCN policy messages. These will support HCN’s intended short-term outcomes by enhancing collaboration between health and non-health advocacy organisations in SA; disseminating key messages of HCN briefs to key target audiences; and strengthening the capacity of PHASA as a champion for health- centred climate policy and advocacy in SA, especially with respect to energy policy.
