Book Description
This new reference document is freely available and is the latest addition to The Complete Post-Pandemic Resilience Toolkit, a collection of resources which includes free online consultancy. This document seeks to identify the potential case study organisations of the mid 2020s and beyond - establishing the detail of what resilience actually looks like, and what it is that resilient organisations do that is different. One of the most effective ways to illustrate a concept such as resilience, is to provide the reader with access to case studies - that is, named organisations, quotations and well-anchored anecdotes which reference characteristics or behaviours which are relevant to our definition of resilience and which can help in confirming its meaning. Graham Bell is a consultant and trainer specialising in organisational resilience and the assessment and mitigation of business risks. He is the author of The Organizational Resilience Handbook, published by Kogan Page, and delivers a qualification course on organisational resilience regulated by Ofqual.

Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters
Author: Institute of Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309316227
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 532
Book Description
In the devastation that follows a major disaster, there is a need for multiple sectors to unite and devote new resources to support the rebuilding of infrastructure, the provision of health and social services, the restoration of care delivery systems, and other critical recovery needs. In some cases, billions of dollars from public, private and charitable sources are invested to help communities recover. National rhetoric often characterizes these efforts as a "return to normal." But for many American communities, pre-disaster conditions are far from optimal. Large segments of the U.S. population suffer from preventable health problems, experience inequitable access to services, and rely on overburdened health systems. A return to pre-event conditions in such cases may be short-sighted given the high costs - both economic and social - of poor health. Instead, it is important to understand that the disaster recovery process offers a series of unique and valuable opportunities to improve on the status quo. Capitalizing on these opportunities can advance the long-term health, resilience, and sustainability of communities - thereby better preparing them for future challenges. Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters identifies and recommends recovery practices and novel programs most likely to impact overall community public health and contribute to resiliency for future incidents. This book makes the case that disaster recovery should be guided by a healthy community vision, where health considerations are integrated into all aspects of recovery planning before and after a disaster, and funding streams are leveraged in a coordinated manner and applied to health improvement priorities in order to meet human recovery needs and create healthy built and natural environments. The conceptual framework presented in Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters lays the groundwork to achieve this goal and provides operational guidance for multiple sectors involved in community planning and disaster recovery. Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters calls for actions at multiple levels to facilitate recovery strategies that optimize community health. With a shared healthy community vision, strategic planning that prioritizes health, and coordinated implementation, disaster recovery can result in a communities that are healthier, more livable places for current and future generations to grow and thrive - communities that are better prepared for future adversities.

Breaking the Silos for Planetary Health
Author: Nicole de Paula
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9811637547
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
This book translates the latest theoretical perspectives on the emerging field of Planetary Health Studies into the practical reality of global political decision makers. It builds on the scientific data on the impacts of environmental change on human health to propose practical methods for operationalizing planetary health. The book maps opportunities for decision makers to break institutional silos and engage with bottom-up approaches that can transform planetary health from a global idea into a local reality. The analysis frames human health in the Anthropocene, an era in which humans have become the most powerful force affecting global ecosystems, and reveals new existential risks for humankind.Departing from ongoing multilateral efforts to promote sustainability, the author’s analysis places the agenda of planetary health on the desk of political decision makers, still underrepresented at planetary health gatherings. Given the pressing need to implement sustainable development policies, the book presents planetary health as an overarching framework for global policy targets, notably the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, and the post-2020 biodiversity framework under the UN Convention on Biological Diversity. The book is timely in offering a concrete road map for practitioners and researchers interested in transforming the concept of planetary health into reality. With a collection of success stories, the analysis dwells on tools for community engagement, opportunities for health professionals training, gender empowerment, digital health, and innovative ways to enhance human well-being on a changing planet.

Addiction and Social Behaviors in the Post-Pandemic World
Author: Iina Savolainen
Publisher: Frontiers Media SA
ISBN: 2832555969
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
Gambling and gaming are popular past-time activities that involve social elements. The built-in social features of online games and gambling platforms offer users valuable social interactions and can function as protective factors against gambling and gaming harms. However, being socially motivated to gamble or stay within online games might lead to spending excessive time gaming or gambling, often at the expense of other important routines and daily activities. Together, these factors might lead to gambling and gaming related problems and long-term individual and public health harms. Problem gambling is typically associated with other harmful behaviors, including alcohol use and cigarette smoking, while online gaming disorder has been associated with poor diet and sleep quality. Since its beginning in the early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has challenged people’s everyday lives, wellbeing, and social interactions. Especially during the early stages of the pandemic many quarantined at home and stayed socially isolated from others. At that time, the World Health Organization, together with various gaming companies, launched the #PlayApartTogether initiative to promote well-being and encourage people to stay socially connected through virtual play. Going into the third year of the pandemic, people are still adjusting to and living in the so called “new normal” where many social conventions have changed. This inevitably influences people’s health-related and addictive behaviors and choices.
