Housing has long supported health and care by providing sanitary living conditions and accommodations to improve daily living. However, rising life expectancies, demand for care, and economic pressures are challenging these systems. Integrating housing, health, and social care can help meet growing needs, reduce costs through prevention and efficiencies, and achieve better outcomes for people. Innovative housing models like extra care facilities and developments tailored for dementia can enable independent living and avoid costly institutional care. Stronger collaboration and using opportunities like the Memorandum of Understanding are keys to building health into homes.Introduction to sehgal foundation

1) The document discusses poaching at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda and examines who engages in illegal activities and why, despite over 25 years of Integrated Conservation and Development (ICD) programs.
2) Through surveys and interviews, the research found that poverty drives some to use resources for subsistence, but others engage in illegal activities due to feelings of unfairness over how the costs and benefits of conservation are distributed.
3) The research concludes that while poverty is a factor, perceptions of inequity are equally important in motivating illegal resource use, and that addressing feelings of unfairness is key to making conservation effective and sustainable.Case Competition: Vancouver Island University

This presentation is not academic but part of my civic engagement.
It calls for a radical digital solution that uses capitalisms own logic to make much faster progress towards climate goals than is currently the case.
It first outlines the starting points and then presents a radical lifestyle change solution to accelerate the transformation of peoples consumption habits at a global level and thereby force a sustainability renewal of companies product and service portfolios.
The presentation will also provide a brief overview of the anticipated impacts and the significant challenges that may arise during the implementation process.
The presentation aims to spark a non-scientific debate that seeks innovative digital solutions to address the current climate crisis.

In the Arctic, melting ice is eliminating polar bears' primary hunting grounds, pushing them farther inland where food is scarce. At the same time, animals in tropical zones face different but equally dangerous challenges. Increased heat and changing rainfall patterns are making forests drier, increasing the risk of wildfires and reducing food availability for many herbivores.Towards a national integrated energy, land and food system model for long ter...
