Dr. Tim Takaro, Professor Emeritus and Physician-Scientist in the Faculty of Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University, shares his recent climate activism in an exploration of the ethics of climate change and health action.
Dr. Tim Takaro's career has focused on environmental and occupational health and, in recent years, on the health impacts of climate change. This led him, as a citizen, to become a volunteer with Protect the Planet Stop TMX (the Trans-Mountain Pipeline Expansion) since August 2020. In November 2021 he was arrested for tree-sitting in an attempt to block further construction of TMX and in June 2022 he was sentenced for contempt of Court and jailed for three weeks.
In this online webinar he shares some of his experience and deep consideration of the ethics of climate change and health action, including exploring an ethics framework for climate action in public health and the need to prepare some foundation for potential public health legal action on climate change.
