Episode 27: Communities Displaced by Floods and Other Impacts of Climate Change

This week we're turning our attention back to some of the broader questions around health and climate change. Crispus Mwemaho has a background in health services, and he's co-founder with Ivan Rwomukitomaof the Abayuuti Climate Action Network. He joined me in the studio last week to talk about the work the Abayuuti Climate Action Network does with people who have been displaced by flooding in Uganda. But first, I asked Crispus Mwemaho what inspired him to focus on the ways climate change, climate mobility, and health intersect.
