The question now is, are you willing to help? Climate emergency is here. In 2019, many catastrophic climate events occurred, including huge cyclones in Mozambique and The Bahamas, protracted bushfires in Australia, and widespread flooding in Jakarta, Indonesia. Climate models predict further unprecedented and extreme weather events due to global heating. Unfortunately, there is still no unified political consensus regarding how to respond to the emergency. Individuals’ perceptions have a huge effect on how they respond to crises. If something is not perceived as an emergency, people do not react quickly. If people recognise that there is an emergency, then those people act to prevent further harms, prepare for and mitigate against harm, adapt, and have emergency drills. This action is part of good safety planning and it saves lives. Yet, some individuals are skeptical about whether the global climate crisis is happening, and whether human activity is responsible. Political orientation and ideology might influence framing of climate change and shared perceptions of the problem. There is a range of responses to the climate emergency, which are shaped by power, privilege, and psychology. Psychology shapes how individuals perceive risk and whether they connect health, social, and environmental justice together as related issues that affect everyone.

OUR PEOPLE, OUR MISSION Global Health eMagazine August 2022 Highlights Clinical Case of the Month Reflections Health Disparities Within Our Borders Nursing Division Art to Remind Us of Who We Can Be Our Beautiful Planet Among the Letters Congratulations Among the Letters We are having a great time with our guests. They have a great sense of humor. Today, we have all of them since the pair at Naggalama came over for a city tour ahead of the switch over tomorrow. The road by our residence is finally being paved. We are therefore hopeful that after the current boost the dust levels will drop to more manageable levels. We have many monkeys and don’t know how to get rid of them. The water supply pipes have been cut by the road works. We are having to truck in supplies. We managed to install a good internet router but utilization is hampered by high-cost data. The cost of everything has skyrocketed. Inflation is at an all-time high, partly because of the war in Ukraine. It is very dry here but not too hot. None of us or the guests are in danger of suffering heat stroke. Be blessed Sam Luboga I have just wrapped up a very productive meeting with Noeline and some other colleagues in both public and mental health. I believe utilizing a rapid needs health assessment in Katwe and Karamoja will be not only useful but necessary. I look forward to speaking about this with you and Noeline via Zoom and getting your input.
