Understanding the Health Impacts of Climate Change
EcoLens emerged from the need to better understand the health impacts of climate change among British Columbians. Climate change is impacting the health and wellbeing of populations across British Columbia, but some populations are being disproportionately impacted. The BC Centre for Disease Control wants to hear from BC residents about their lived experiences with climate change to gain a more nuanced and holistic understanding of the different ways that climate change is impacting people’s wellbeing throughout the province. EcoLens stories and images will complement our existing surveillance efforts to provide health authorities, policymakers and the broader public with a greater understanding of how climate change is impacting our health.
