In the final podcast of season 1 of the Why Climate Podcast, we talk with Rebekka Schnitter from the Public Health Agency of Canada about what adaptation and Health System Resilience looks like going forward.







Changes in climate are affecting the health of Canadians and their health systems. Recent floods, wildfires, extreme heat events, and severe storms have had impacts on health facilities and disrupted care for those in need. Adaptation measures such as assessments of risks and vulnerabilities, integrated surveillance and warning systems, health professional training, and public education can help prepare Canadians and build the climate resilience of health systems. Well-designed efforts to adapt to climate change impacts and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within and outside of the health sector can result in very large and near-term co-benefits to health. Many health authorities in Canada are increasing adaptation efforts. However, disparities in efforts exist across the country and adaptation needs to be rapidly scaled up to protect health as Canada continues to warm.

Today we chat with Angelina Heer, the director of Nutsihpiluwewicik. Nutsihpiluwewicik began its journey in 2008 when the Faculty of Nursing established the Aboriginal Nursing Initiative (ANI) at the University of New Brunswick. ANI strives to provide culturally appropriate support and experiences that would assist Indigenous students on their academic journey. Since its establishment, we have increased the number of Indigenous nursing graduates in the nursing program. In 2017, Wolastoqiyik Elder Imelda Perley gifted ANI with the name Nutsihpiluwewicik, which is a Wolastoqiyik word for healing clan or clan of healers.

Director, Urban and Community Studies Institute







Rob Moir joined UNB Saint John in 1996 and is currently serving as Associate Dean (Research and Special Projects) and Associate Professor of Economics within the Faculty of Business. He received a BArts&Science (Honours in Economics) from McMaster, an MA from Queen's, and a PhD from McMaster.







He has been a visiting research scholar at the University of Arizona in Tucson, and the Cognitive and Experimental Economics Laboratory at the University of Trento in Trento, Italy. He has also been a visiting professor at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, China.







In May 2018, Rob Moir was named a John Dobson Enactus Fellow by the John Dobson Foundation. This national award honours those who have demonstrated a commitment to shaping generations of entrepreneurial leaders.







Dr Moir's key research topic is the role of cooperation in the economy. Specifically, he used research methods identified in the fields of game theory, and experimental and behavioral economics to determine what drives cooperation and how mechanisms might be designed to facilitate cooperation when cooperation is beneficial to an economy. This has led him to inquiries into environmental issues, market structure, governance, strategy framing, public good provision, gambling, economic measurement, happiness, and community economic development. Dr. Moir also currently holds two research grants for research on the economic impact of tourism in New Brunswick.
