This is second of a four-part series on Community Commons highlighting the impact of climate change on human health, communities, and economies. The series is co-authored by Chris Paterson of Community Initiatives.
In our previous article on the health impacts of climate change, we discussed implications on our physical health- heat waves, floods, and drought can give way to heat-related illnesses, contaminated water supplies, and respiratory illnesses, for example. But when we dive deeper into studying the effects of climate change, we see even further reaching implications. What we see, is that our climate, our environment isn’t just something physical, it’s a force that has the ability to disrupt how connected we feel to our community and to each other. Something unacknowledged by most of us.
