What's new

2010

May 2010

Colin has been invited (PDF 207KB) to serve as Chief Moderator for the panel on Global Recovery through Buddhist Ecology as well as a session Moderator at 7th United Nations Day of Vesak in Bangkok later this month.

Colin has been appointed as co-editor of EcoHealth, journal of the International Association for Ecology & Health.

New in Post Graduate Medical Journal: an article by Colin and David Harley called 'Primary, secondary and tertiary effects of eco-climate change: the medical response'. Actions to reduce individual emissions, to promote active transport (with its ‘co-benefit’ of preventing chronic disease), and involvement in group action to protect the environment and to prevent war, informed by understanding of the health of individual patients and populations, will be central to the practice of ecomedicine (emerging discipline that includes climate change, ecology and global health).
