Climate change impacts vulnerable communities the most. It deepens inequalities and threatens both environmental and human health. These challenges also offer opportunities for collective action on the local level, innovation, and climate justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year\u2019s workshop,&nbsp;<em>\u2018<\/em><strong>Connecting planetary health, climate justice, and community health: from knowledge to impact<\/strong><em>\u2019,<\/em>&nbsp;invites participants to explore the links between planetary health and community health and wellbeing. We will look into&nbsp;<strong>mobilizing communities<\/strong>,including the involvement of&nbsp;<strong>young people<\/strong>, as agents of change, ensuring that climate solutions are&nbsp;<strong>just, accessible, and impactful<\/strong>&nbsp;taking into account&nbsp;<strong>indigenous perspectives<\/strong>. By bridging knowledge with action, we aim to inspire collaborative strategies that address the root causes of environmental degradation while fostering healthier, more resilient communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Global Community Health Annual Workshop provides a space where community health practitioners, activists, policy makers, and researchers can learn and improve their skills.

Our focus is on practical frameworks and processes that can be applied across diverse settings and cultures. When done well, authentic community codesign supports relevant and workable solutions by grounding action in the lived experience of communities. For community health workers, programme codesign aligns services and everyday realities, strengthens relationships, and supports confident, context-aware implementation. Authentic codesign reduces implementation failure by moving from top-down program design to shared ownership, so that strategies reflect what is feasible, acceptable, and locally meaningful. Examples from the Ophelia (Optimise Health Literacy and Access) methodology show a structured, evidence-informed approach for community codesign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ophelia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>draws on diverse research, including Asset-Based Community Development and Complex Interventions, to provide guidance on stakeholder engagement, needs mapping, and scale-up<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>uses health literacy profiling to identify patterns of need and capability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>engages communities, practitioners, and organisations in interpreting this evidence to co-create responses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>supports iterative cycles of reflection, development, and learning to translate insights into locally tailored action<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>strengthens impact of health programmes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Learning objective:<\/strong>&nbsp; Integrate good practices in codesigning a contextually appropriate plan that integrates local wisdom to improve implementation effectiveness and equity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background\">10.40 \/ 16.40 CEST : Beyond Evidence and Policies to Action: Mobilising Communities for Advancing Planetary Health<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"233\" height=\"233\" data-src=\"https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Dr.-Rudolf-Abugnaba-Abanga-1-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10384 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 233px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 233\/233;object-fit:cover;width:200px;height:auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Dr.-Rudolf-Abugnaba-Abanga-1-edited.jpg 233w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Dr.-Rudolf-Abugnaba-Abanga-1-edited-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Dr.-Rudolf-Abugnaba-Abanga-1-edited-12x12.jpg 12w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 233px) 100vw, 233px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:75%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dr Rudolf Abugnaba Abanga (PhD) <\/strong>is a climate change and health systems researcher.

Despite increased global momentum for climate action in recent years, translating global commitments into action on the ground remains challenging. Low risk perception among communities and policymakers, policy inconsistencies, and limited transdisciplinary approaches, among others, account for limited climate action in the most affected communities. This session explores Planetary Health through a health-system lens and how communities can harness their voices, knowledge systems, and social networks to promote climate-responsive health systems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background\">11.15 \/ 17.15 CEST : From Classroom to Community: One Health Promotion Education in Action.

Two main axes are developed: 1) the pedagogical integration of One\u202fHealth concepts through tools adapted to young learners; 2) the \u201cOne\u202fHealth Ambassador\u201d project, a peer\u2011education initiative in which trained children become awareness agents within the school community through group activities and oral and written communication materials.

In Mt. Kitanglad range, a contested landscape and territory located in Bukidnon province in southern Philippines, care is not an abstract ethic but an embodied practice through which Indigenous communities sustain the wellbeing of forests, waters, spirits, mountains, and people together. This relational mode of protection shows that community health and ecological health are inseparable: rituals, everyday labor, youth involvement, and Indigenous governance are all forms of tending to a living territory that, in turn, sustains them. By foregrounding these practices, the presentation aims to contribute to the workshop\u2019s broader aim of moving from knowledge to impact\u2014demonstrating how Indigenous practices and perspectives on care mobilize communities for climate action, articulate climate justice as a matter of relational repair, and offer models of protection that exceed managerial conservation to cultivate thriving socio\u2011ecological worlds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background\">10.40 \/ 16.40 CEST : Mental resilience and climate: healing the individual to strengthen communities using the RACINES method<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"848\" height=\"847\" data-src=\"https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Photo-professionnelle-Christelle-GNIMASSOU-PNG-edited-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10470 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 848px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 848\/847;object-fit:cover;width:200px;height:200px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Photo-professionnelle-Christelle-GNIMASSOU-PNG-edited-1.png 848w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Photo-professionnelle-Christelle-GNIMASSOU-PNG-edited-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Photo-professionnelle-Christelle-GNIMASSOU-PNG-edited-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Photo-professionnelle-Christelle-GNIMASSOU-PNG-edited-1-768x767.png 768w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Photo-professionnelle-Christelle-GNIMASSOU-PNG-edited-1-12x12.png 12w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Photo-professionnelle-Christelle-GNIMASSOU-PNG-edited-1-512x512.png 512w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:75%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong><strong>Christelle Eug\u00e9nie <\/strong><\/strong>Gnimassou<\/strong> is an emotional intelligence coach and the founding president of the NGO Triomphe de l\u2019Int\u00e9rieur in Benin.

In Benin, repeated flooding in the Zou, Atlantic and Mono regions displaced more than 600,000 people between 2010 and 2023, whilst around 23% of the population show signs of psychological distress, according to WHO Africa. This presentation demonstrates, using evidence and examples from Benin and sub-Saharan Africa, that untreated individual trauma undermines social cohesion, reduces collective mobilisation and limits the effectiveness of climate resilience strategies. Learning objective: to enable participants to identify the mechanisms through which psychological distress affects community resilience, and to propose approaches that integrate psychosocial support into climate adaptation policies and programmes. Mental health constitutes an essential infrastructure for sustainable community resilience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background\" style=\"letter-spacing:-1px\">11.15 \/ 17.15 CEST : Mobilising communities for climate action, health and the Just Transition in South Africa<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"602\" data-src=\"https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mafoko-Phomane-edited-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10332 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 602px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 602\/602;object-fit:cover;width:200px;height:200px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mafoko-Phomane-edited-1.jpg 602w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mafoko-Phomane-edited-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mafoko-Phomane-edited-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mafoko-Phomane-edited-1-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mafoko-Phomane-edited-1-512x512.jpg 512w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:75%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>Mafoko Phomane<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> is a health equity advocate and environmental health campaigner based at groundWork, she brings public health expertise to efforts aimed at protecting communities from environmental risks in Southern Africa.

The game sees players taking the role of city mayors in a region affected by disasters worsened by climate change. Each mayor must then play cards to mitigate the disasters\u2019 immediate effects, adapt the city long-term, and carry out research and political development. A round starts by turning over a Disaster Card (DC), each a reimagining of Brazilian myth and representing a natural disaster affecting a city\u2019s Quality of Life. These disasters are consequences of our misuse and disrespect of nature, leading its protectors to turn their wrath on us.

CEBA is part of a broader network of energy communities in Andalusia, in a moment of their increasing dissemination in the Spanish and European context. The objective of CEBA is to work towards climate justice and to foster social cohesion and community participation in cultural heritage neighborhoods that are exposed to gentrification and touristification. The project aims to produce green energy by means of collective solar panels to be installed in existing public or private buildings, as a sustainable and decentralized alternative to large-scale power plants. The initiative also plans to contribute to energy solidarity by providing electricity to families in situations of energy poverty. To implement these objectives, CEBA has elaborated a long-term sustainable economic model and an Equality and Inclusivity Plan. This way, CEBA aims to contribute to planetary health, climate justice, social equity, and community health.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"209\" height=\"256\" data-src=\"https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Arlene-Lehto-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10502 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 209px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 209\/256;object-fit:cover;width:200px;height:200px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Arlene-Lehto-edited.webp 209w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Arlene-Lehto-edited-10x12.webp 10w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 209px) 100vw, 209px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:75%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Arlene Lehto<\/strong> is an Indigenous author and facilitator whose work centers on community healing through storytelling, land-based practices, and intergenerational connection.

His work is underpinned by an approach based on human rights, equity, community participation and the sustainability of health systems. At the NGO BASE, he currently coordinates the programme supported by the Global Fund to Fight HIV, Tuberculosis and Malaria, with a particular focus on integrating community-based approaches into public health policy. Dr Ch\u00e9rif also works to create spaces for dialogue, learning and mobilisation around the links between health, climate and social justice. His approach emphasises community engagement, particularly with young people, the promotion of local and indigenous knowledge, and the strengthening of community resilience in the face of the effects of climate change. Convinced that communities must be at the heart of public policy, he advocates for fairer, more inclusive and resilient health systems, capable of addressing contemporary health and environmental challenges whilst limiting the influence of commercial interests that run counter to public health.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Somto-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10375 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 768px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 768\/1024;object-fit:cover;width:200px;height:200px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Somto-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Somto-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Somto-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Somto-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Somto.jpg 1228w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:75%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Somto Chike Obuekwe<\/strong>.

Directly linked to healthy lifestyles, this project falls within my areas of expertise and allows me to contribute to a collective reflection on children\u2019s health.
