Research shows that women in the Global South depend on public transport more than men and are more likely to travel with children or the elderly - but what is the impact of rising temperatures on these commuters? Climate change and increasingly hot days can expose commuters to unpleasant, uncomfortable and potentially dangerous conditions. So what can be done to mitigate these climate-related health risks? And how do the various role players get involved? Well, the South African Medical Research Council (SAMRC) is leading the charge when it comes to understanding the impacts of climate change on commuters.
In this episode of the Just For A Change podcast, Dr Thandi Kapwata from the SAMRC unpacks their findings with podcast host Ntombini Marrengane. The Bertha Centre's Gillian Vedan also shares how innovation is needed to combat the health risks of climate change, such as food insecurity and disease vectors – another unexpected connection between transport, public health and climate justice.
The Bertha Centre is the first specialised centre in Africa dedicated to advancing social innovation and entrepreneurship and focuses on researching, educating, convening, catalysing and advocating for social, environmental and economic justice.
