6 - One Health and Climate Change Flashcards
Every increment of global warming leads to what?
Increased regional warming
Precipitation, soil moister changes
Increased frequency and intensity of extreme events (temps, natural disasters)
Extreme temperature events that used to occur once very 10 years now occur how often? What about events that occurred every 50 years? What about if global warming levels reach 2 degrees?
10 yr: now likely to occur 2.8 times
2C = 5.6 times
50 yr: now likely to occur 4.8x
2C = 13.9x

What is the IPCC
Intergovernmental panel on climate change
Two ways climate change impacts health in the Arctic
- food security

IPCC conclusion on impact of climate change on food security
- food/water security have been negatively impacted by changes in snow cover, lake and river ice, and permafrost in arctic regions
- changes disrupt access to herding, hunting, fishing and gathering areas
- harms livelihoods and cultural identity of arctic residents
How is climate change affecting nutrition in the arctic
Decrease in seafood availability projected to elevate risk to nutritional health in some communities highly dependent on it
How is climate change affected BC First Nations?
Seafood has protein, EPA, DHA, vitamins, minerals
Climate change projections are a 21-32% decrease in intake by 2050
Seafood substituted with non-traditional foods (chicken, canned tuna) do not replace nutrients lost
What is COP? where was the most recent one?
