Community panel: Climate change and public health
Thursday 29 September 2022 10.00am - 5.00pm
Fore Street Library (Living Room Library), 109 - 111 Fore St N18 2XF
Together with the Enfield Racial Equality Council, the Enfield Climate Action Forum (EnCaf) will be running two Community Panels/Hubs to discuss how public health will be affected by climate change.
We will be addressing some key issues but more importantly we want to hear from those who attend what they think the main issues are and what can be done about them by our communities as well as the Health and Local Authorities.
We would welcome you attending so let us know if you would like to come all day or just for one of the sessions.
You can just drop in on the day but you can also sign up and we can send you more information.

Green space helps our well being, makes our urban space cooler and reduces our carbon footprint. What can we do to get more green space?
1.55pm Air pollution & the incinerator. Air pollution is a killer and there are grave concerns about the planned incinerator. What can we do?
Concern over air pollution was the number one issue in a survey we did. What can we do and what do we expect of our local authority and government.

4.30pm Young people and a better planet. Listen to what young people think should be done at this critical time of climate emergency.
They will be affected the most and we should hear their voices
