    Where to start with this amazing episode? Clarity, insight and perspective from Dr. John Bosco Isunju, of Makerere University, on the hazards we face as humans in the face of climate change, and the unique challenges that will shape the future of life in Uganda. Dr. John Bosco Isunju brings a formidable depth of knowledge to these subjects, having worked across many areas of public health from environmental pollution, geospatial health, disaster risk reduction, and infection prevention to issues around occupational safety and health, and safe water and sanitation. And many other points in between. Dr. Isunju recently led the Climate change vulnerability and adaptation assessment and development of Uganda's Health National Adaptation Plan. He is a member of the WHO Global Alliance for Transformative Action on Climate and Health. At Makerere University, he is a cluster lead of the African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA)’s Nature-Based Solutions cluster for climate change adaptation. He is a member of the Editorial Board for the Makerere University Press. He also serves on the Grants and Research Capacity Building Committee and is the Secretary for the MakSPH Research and Ethics Committee. He is a Focal Person for the Consortium for Advanced Research Training in Africa, where he also serves on the Board of Management.

    Episode 27: Communities Displaced by Floods and Other Impacts of Climate Change
    Jun 26 2025
    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. You can find out more about the Abayuuti Climate Action Network here: https://www.abayuuti.org/ Kampala Climate Cafe on Instagram: @kampalaclimatecafe And you can find a fascinating article on mental health and climate displacement written by Crispus Mwemaho here: Displaced and Distressed: Uncovering the Mental Impacts of Climate Displacement in Uganda (https://eastandhornofafrica.iom.int/blogs/displaced-and-distressed-uncovering-mental-impacts-climate-displacement-uganda)
