Guest: Feyza Dereli – Izmir Katip Çelebi University

In this episode of our CLocalization videocast, we welcome public health academic and nurse Feyza Dereli. She explores the intersection between the climate crisis and public health through the “One Health” perspective—emphasizing the interconnectedness of environmental, human, and animal health.

The discussion covers key public health risks in Türkiye, the effects of climate-induced disasters, water and air pollution-related diseases, the specific vulnerabilities of disadvantaged groups, and the psychological impacts of eco-anxiety. It also highlights the crucial role of local governments and participatory approaches in building resilient health systems.

This conversation offers essential insights for anyone working to center health and equity in climate adaptation strategies.
