In many developing countries, extreme weather events tied to climate change are increasingly threatening people’s property, livelihoods, and lives. Policymakers seek strategies to help people build resilience to these environmental shocks, which can exacerbate crises caused by poverty and poor health. This interactive infographic, shared via the web and social media, explains the concept of resilience in simple terms, highlighting the policy interventions that help families become more resilient to a crisis. Framing resilience as the integration of health and nutrition, education, and economic stability, the infographic outlines clear policy changes that decisionmakers across sectors can implement.

      This policy brief explores the connections between women, their access to family planning, population, and resilience, and makes the case that investments that aim to improve women’s access to rights-based voluntary family planning are critical to building resilience. This brief aims to help health, climate change, and development practitioners who focus on resilience better understand and communicate these connections in order to embrace and promote family planning as a local, national, and global development priority.

          The Population, Health, and Environment (PHE) approach to community development aims to simultaneously improve access and equity to primary health care services, particularly family planning and reproductive health, while also helping communities conserve biodiversity, manage natural resources, and develop sustainable livelihoods. This course will introduce learners to the fundamentals of the PHE approach including PHE relationships, the benefits of integration, program considerations, the PHE policy and advocacy landscape, and how the PHE approach can contribute to global development priorities, such as the Sustainable Development Goals and Family Planning 2020 in an efficient and effective way.

            This advocacy and communications toolkit is aimed at national family planning advocates to enable them to engage in climate change policy discussions to further, not only family planning goals, but also contribute to climate change objectives. The advocacy toolkit is intended to provide information on advocating for family planning as a climate adaptation strategy. The communications toolkit summarizes how these advocacy arguments can be edited into key messages to share leading up to the Conference of the Parties (COP22) in November 2016.

                These PHE story cards have been designed to be used as an integrated PHE community outreach tool by community health agents and/or the community-based staff of environmental organisations. The cards can serve as a visual aid for facilitating small group storytelling and discussion sessions in both marine and terrestrial contexts, with the aim of enabling communities to express and explore their understanding of PHE linkages. It’s hoped that this tool will be effective in fostering critical thinking among community members, leading to the development of health-promoting and environmentally-friendly social norms. The cards are accompanied by a short facilitation guide, which will be elaborated as feedback is received from initial users.
