5TH INTERNATIONAL MONACO AND THE MEDITERRANEAN SYMPOSIUM

From 26 to 28 March 2009 at the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco there will be 5th International Monaco and the Mediterranean Symposium "Fair and sustainable management of fresh water in the Mediterranean". Today, fresh water in the Mediterranean represents 3% of the world’s resources. 30 million Mediterranean citizens have no access to healthy water and 27 million are without adequate sanitation. In 2050, a barrel of virtual water will cost as much as a barrel of oil. All this data confirms that fresh water management is a fundamental challenge for humankind, even more so in the face of climate change, demographic trends and the risks of trans-border and international conflict.

EXPLORING THE DYNAMIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT AT THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY

On 2-3 April 2009 the American Museum of Natural History is hosting a multi-disciplinary conference "Exploring the Dynamic Relationship Between Health and the Environment" which is being organized by conservation biologists, physicians, veterinarians, public health experts, molecular biologists, and others. Health and the environment are deeply intertwined for populations, species, and ecosystems, as well as for human lives and livelihoods. Human endeavours in agriculture, energy and food production, transportation, and infrastructure development can have far-reaching and significant impact on the health of humans, animals, and the environment. Understanding these relationships is increasingly critical in the context of our changing world and the accelerating loss of biodiversity. This two-day conference will present a diversity of viewpoints and experiences spanning the natural, medical, and social sciences, as well as policy planning. Presenters will discuss knowledge/data gaps and the limitations of current approaches, and examine innovative methods that move beyond speculation to a grounded understanding of impacts and realistic solutions. Particular emphasis will be placed on consideration of multiple and interacting stressors and decision making for maximizing benefits to both health and the environment.

4TH RCE CONFERENCE OF THE AMERICAS

The next annual International RCE Conference of the Americas will be hosted by RCE Montreal, in Canada, from 13-15 May 2009 and will take place in the Biosphère, the symbol of Expo 67. The first day of the Conference will overlap with the last day of the 5th World Environmental Education Congress (5th WEEC), creating a fabulous synergy and adding a value of extraordinary power, able to strengthen the idea that it’s only through the instrument of education we could really change the future in a direction of sustainability. The RCE (Regional Centre of Expertise) is the regional centre that has as its core the promotion of approaches at local level: it is based on the belief that the key for the success of promoting sustainable development is developing the capacity of all stakeholders, strengthening this area of learning. The Conference will have ESD (Education for Sustainable Development) thematic workshops that are open to 5th WEEC participants, ESD thematic meetings open only to the RCE network, continental meetings, a panel discussion on ESD, meeting on strategies and operations and capacity building workshops. There will be no registration fee. It will be presented the new logo for RCE Saskatchewan developed to create a sense of regional identity and assist in RCE promotion and recognition. The goals of the RCE Conference of the Americas is very ambitious and reflects the range of needs and aspirations of participants: it’s aim is to identify new opportunities for growth and the potential resources (financial and in-kind) available to make local projects a solid and successful reality.

17TH CONGRESS INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR GROUP PSYCHOTHERAPY AND GROUP PROCESSES (IAGP)

The 17th Congress of the International Association for Group Psychotherapy and Group Processes (IAGP) in association with the Confederation of Italian Organizations for Analytic Research on Groups (COIRAG) will convene in Rome, Italy, in August 2009 (Pre-Congress August 24, 25; Congress opening August 25, sessions 26-29, 2009). The languages of Congress and Pre-Congress are English, Spanish and Italian. Plenary lectures and interventions will be simultaneously translated. The Congress theme, Groups in a Time of Conflict, has attracted much attention, as clinicians and all who work with groups recognize and are witness to the effects that culture, society, government and current events have on the lives of the people with whom they work and interact. The theoretical orientations (theory and practice) of those attending the Congress reflect the diversity and richness in the fields of mental health and group work. They include group psychotherapists, group analysts, psycho-dramatists, family therapists, expressive art therapists, organization consultants, researchers, teachers and students from the private and public sectors. They hail from the six continents, providing all at the Congress with a unique opportunity for cross-cultural exposure, communication and understanding. In addition to the Scientific Activities of the Pre-Congress, and Congress workshops, symposia, courses, videos and posters, the Congress format will include on-going morning experiential groups, where participants can connect with each other in a small group setting; and at the conclusion of each days scientific program Large and Median groups, where participants will have the opportunity to interact with Congress colleagues to explore social and cultural issues that will be reflected in the Congress. There will also be an opportunity for students and professionals to study a subject or theme in depth. The Scientific Program Committee (SPC) will organize these Thematic Tracks from both proposals that are submitted as well as invited presentations. The Congress Plenary Speakers are internationally renowned for their activism and contributions to the understanding of human behaviour in times of stress and conflict, and towards the promotion of peace.

FRENCH CANCER E-COURSE RELEASED

CCOHS launched the French version of the Occupational and Environmental Cancer e-course. As with the English course, a learning management system is in place to track registrations for the course and exam, as well as a course survey form. Many Canadians encounter carcinogens in their workplace or environment. Sometimes this exposure will cause cancer. Recognition of cancer from occupational or environmental causes is difficult because, in most cases, these cancers cannot be distinguished from other cancers. This course teaches primary health care providers how to recognize occupational and environmental cancers and how to respond to this finding. Insights are provided into how the recognition of occupational and environmental cancer risks can lead to prevention. Case studies will highlight key points and allow participants to apply lessons learned. Access to numerous free resources including online occupational and environmental cancer links, and Screening and Detailed Exposure History Questionnaires, is also provided. This e-course was developed by members of the National Committee on Environmental and Occupational Exposures (NCEOE) in cooperation with CCOHS and funded by the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer (CPAC) through the Primary Prevention Action Group (PP-AG).

CLIMATE ACTION NEWSLETTER

Welcome to the first Climate Action newsletter of 2009. With 2008 behind us and the United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Copenhagen quickly making its way to the forefront, a lot of new ground will be broken as industries and nations cast a more determined eye towards green technology and environmental legislation. In this issue, we will largely focus on the United States and their recent and future policy changes; a large leap forward in the fight to end climate change brought about mostly by the change in governmental administration.

THE CONTROVERSY ABOUT A POSSIBLE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MOBILE PHONE USE AND CANCER by M. Kundi.

During the last decade mobile phone use increased to almost hundred percent prevalence in many countries of the world. Evidence for potential health hazards accumulated in parallel by epidemiological investigations has raised controversies about the appropriate interpretation and the degree of bias and confounding responsible for reduced or increased risk estimates.

CLIMATE CHANGE AND ALLERGIC DISEASE by K.M. Shea, R.T. Truckner, R.W. Weber, D.B. Peden.

Climate change is potentially the largest global threat to human health ever encountered. The earth is warming, the warming is accelerating, and human actions are largely responsible. If current emissions and land use trends continue unchecked, the next generations will face more injury, disease, and death related to natural disasters and heat waves, higher rates of climate-related infections, and wide-spread malnutrition, as well as more allergic and air pollution–related morbidity and mortality. This review highlights links between global climate change and anticipated increases in prevalence and severity of asthma and related allergic disease mediated through worsening ambient air pollution and altered local and regional pollen production. The pattern of change will vary regionally depending on latitude, altitude, rainfall and storms, land-use patterns, urbanization, transportation, and energy production. The magnitude of climate change and related increases in allergic disease will be affected by how aggressively greenhouse gas mitigation strategies are pursued, but at best an average warming of 1 to 28C is certain this century. Thus, anticipation of a higher allergic disease burden will affect clinical practice as well as public health planning. A number of practical primary and secondary prevention strategies are suggested at the end of the review to assist in meeting this unprecedented public health challenge.

TRAFFIC RELATED AIR POLLUTION AND PERINATAL MORTALITY by A.P.Peneluppi de Medeiros, N. Gouveia, R.P.Pérez Machado, M. Regina de Souza, G. Pereira Alencar, H.M. Dutilh Novaes and M. Furquim de Almeida.

Ambient levels of air pollution may affect the health of children, as indicated by studies of infant and perinatal mortality. Scientific evidence has also correlated low birth weight and preterm birth, which are important determinants of perinatal death, with air pollution. However, most of these studies used ambient concentrations measured at monitoring sites, which may not consider differential exposure to pollutants found at elevated concentrations near heavy-traffic roadways. The goal was to examine the association between traffic-related pollution and peri-natal mortality. These results suggest that motor vehicle exhaust exposures may be a risk factor for perinatal mortality.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND COSTS OF SOLID WASTE: A COMPARISON OF LANDFILL AND INCINERATION by A. Rabl, J.V. Spadaro and A. Zoughaib.

The methodology for evaluating the impacts and damage costs (“external costs”) due to pollution from waste treatment is described and results are presented, based on the Externe project series of the European Commission. The damage costs of landfill and incineration of municipal solid waste are compared, with due account for energy and materials recovery, as well as possible differences in transport distance. We have not been able to quantify the total damage costs of leachates because of the complexity of the environmental pathways and of the long time horizon of some persistent pollutants, but we consider an extreme scenario to show that they are not worth worrying about in the sense that reducing the pollutants in leachates beyond current regulations would bring negligible benefit compared to the abatement of other sources of the same pollutants. The damage costs due to the construction of the waste treatment facility are negligible. The damage costs of waste transport, illustrated with an arbitrary choice of 100 km roundtrip by a 16 tonne truck, is also negligible. The benefits of materials recovery make a small contribution to the total damage cost. The only significant contributions come from direct emissions (of the landfill or incinerator) and from avoided emissions due to energy recovery (from an incinerator). Damage costs for incineration range from about 4 to 21 euros/t waste, extremely dependent on the assumed scenario for energy recovery. For landfill the cost ranges from about 10 to 13 euros/t waste; it is dominated by greenhouse gas emissions because only a fraction of the CH4 can be captured (here assumed to be 70%). Amenity costs (odor, visual impact, noise) are highly site-specific and we only cite results from a literature survey which indicates that such costs could make a

significant contribution, on the order of one euro per tonne waste.

SCIENCE FOR ENVIRONMENT POLICY

This is a newsletter, a service from the European Commission. There is evidence that the results of research are not always fully exploited. It is thus important to improve the dissemination of research results so that they are both more usable for policy makers and help to communicate understanding of environmental issues to the general public. That is the reason why DG Environment has decided to establish this service in order to reinforce the links between science and policy. The target audience are policy makers as well as the wider public. This service provides scientific information in the field of the main themes of the Environmental Action Programme and relevant to DG Environment policy priorities in support of the knowledge based approach. The sources for this service are provided on one hand by the specialised staff of the contractor, on the other hand by EC officials and are scientific results of achieved or on-going EU funded projects and findings of other research initiatives implemented at international, national and regional levels, etc... Opinions expressed in the flash articles on this service do not necessarily reflect those of the European Commission. The news alert is sent weekly.

JOIN EARTH DAY NETWORK TO DEMAND REAL ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION NOW!

The World Health Organization estimates that climate change is responsible for over 1.3 million deaths since 2000. Yet our economy's dependence on non-renewable energies is depleting our resources, polluting our earth and adding carbon-dioxide to our atmosphere. Times are tough, but if we don't work together to find environmental solutions they are going to get tougher. A stimulus package of 400-700 billion of dollars will be sent to Congress in a few short weeks. Earth Day Network urgently needs your support now to ensure that 1.3 million deaths are not ignored, and environmental campaign promises are carried out. The goal is to raise 200.000 dollars for grassroots campaign to keep Congress focused on developing a road map to solving climate change and developing a truly green economy. EDN needs your help now to fight for demanding a carbon-free future based on renewable energy with the ultimate goal of a coal-free world; establishing personal commitments to responsible, sustainable consumption; creating a new green economy to create jobs and help people out of poverty. EDN is launching the Green Generation Campaign, a global communications and action plan that will capitalize on their unique ability to unite nearly a billion people around the world to stand up for the planet not just on Earth Day but every day. They need your continued support to use their new leverage in Washington and mobilize the public to create a greener world. They urge you to donate now and become part of the solution to climate change. Join their Green Generation, and support EDN as we build an active, educated, greener America and global community!

THE OP-ED MESSAGE TO POZNAN: STRENGTHENING PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEMS CAN LESSEN THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND BOOST PUBLIC HEALTH UNDERSTANDING by M. Neira.

World leaders, climate change experts and advocates met in Poznan, Poland, on 1-12 December for the 14th Conference of the Parties (COP 14) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).  The conference is an important half-way mark in the two-year negotiating process, agreed in Bali, to reach a post-2012  (when the first phase of the UN’s Kyoto Protocol expires) climate change agreement in Copenhagen in 2009. On the agenda of the Poznan meeting there were discussions about how best to support the strengthening of adaptive capacities of countries to climate related threats and agreeing a framework for global, national and sectorial related emission standards. The Op-Ed addresses a significant weakness in current approaches to the climate change negotiations: namely the lack of a health impact focus. It lays out the rationale for a health reframing. The op-ed argues that strengthened health systems can help countries adapt to current threats and advocate for change in other key sectors based upon their positive and/or negative impact on health. It further points to the economic and behavioural change benefits of using a health focus.
