Understanding how climate change and climate variability affect people\u2019s health and wellbeing is a foundational aspect of basic climate literacy. For teachers, integrating content and exercises on health provides an opportunity to engage students in earth science with projects that both demonstrate the relevance of the science and also require development of critical analytic and synthetic skills.

Environmental Policy investigating the intersection of spatial planning, ecosystem services, health and green infrastructure. The EcoHealth project is co-funded by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Health Services Executive. The project advances two key objectives: the first is to develop a robust evidence base concerning the roles played by access to greenspace in promoting health and wellbeing among all social cohorts. The second objective is to translate and mobilize this evidence base into spatial planning and design tools that can be employed by those involved in developing and implementing greenspace policies across a range of different environment types. The principal output of the project will be evidence-informed policy, practice and design recommendations to maximize the health benefits from greenspace by operationalizing the green infrastructure concept within various policy domains. To support the use of the recommendations, a full report will be prepared and targeted at policy makers and major environmental\/health stakeholders. There will also be a project website and twitter, a national conference and a series of continuing professional development workshops.

Features of the built environment have been studied for decades to understand relationships between land use and transportation investment impacts on travel patterns, vehicle emissions, and air quality.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Respiratory effects of urbanization patterns remain a central focus of public policy globally and therefore a highly relevant issue for this special issue.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;For an equal length of time, the built environment has been studied for its relationship to travel mode choice, including walking, cycling, and transit use. However, since the late 1990s and early 2000s, the built environment has also been shown to have health impacts affecting levels of physical activity and obesity, diabetes, respiratory function, depression, coronary heart disease, certain cancers, and life expectancy. In roughly the same time frame, transportation and urban design features of the built environment have been implicated in traffic-related injuries and fatalities.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EYet, much remains unknown. Nearly all studies to date have been cross sectional, providing evidence of association but not of causation. There is conflicting evidence, for example, on the degree to which the built environment contributes to obesity, with some studies suggesting significant relationships and others not, at least not after controlling for residential self-selection. We encourage submittals that employ an ecological framework where physical features are measured and spatially linked directly with behaviors and exposures at a scale where observed relationships are arguably and ideally measurably a function of the environments where people spend their time.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;The built environment may be characterized at one or more of the following scales: macro scale (regional), meso scale (community or neighborhood), and micro (street, public park, or building); or ideally consider the interaction between all three.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Studies that offer increased variation in built environment features and comparative insights into effects of contrasting cultural and institutional settings across countries are encouraged.\u0026nbsp;For the purposes of this call, transport includes walking, cycling, public transportation, and automobile use. Health includes behaviors (physical activity, diet, and social interaction); exposures including air pollutants and noise, crime, traffic safety, and other social conditions; and a range of mental and physical health outcomes.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs well as full length papers, short technical notes and viewpoints will be considered for this special issue.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EScope of the Special Issue\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo illustrate the breadth of this call, some examples of appropriate topics include but are not limited to:\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E--\u0026nbsp;Historical links between the built environment, transport, and public health\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E-- Potential for the built environment to contribute to public health goals\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E-- Potential for transport to contribute to public health goals\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E-- Advances in regional transportation planning toward health goals\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E-- Community design and physical activity\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E-- Community design and air quality\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E-- Policy and legislation for healthy places\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E-- Built environment and climate change\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E-- Built environment and mental health\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E-- Built environment and traffic safety\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E-- Planning and obesity prevention\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E-- Metrics of the built environment as they relate to health behavior and outcomes\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E-- New empirical results on the link between the built environment and physical activity (including transport walking and cycling)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E-- Local case studies of health promotion through transport\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E-- State policy initiatives on transportation as relates to health\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E-- Safe Routes to School or Transit\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E-- Role of transit and transit-oriented development in active living\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E-- Health impact assessment as it relates to transport\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E-- Urban heat islands and their health effects\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E-- Built environment and vehicle emissions\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E-- Synthesis papers summarizing what is known about the role of active transportation in obesity prevention, compared to, e.g., the role of changing diets or time use patterns\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EKey Dates\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ctable width=\u0022500\u0022 border=\u00221\u0022 cellspacing=\u00220\u0022 cellpadding=\u00220\u0022\u003E\u003Ctbody\u003E\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESubmission of abstracts\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/td\u003E\u003Ctd\u003E\u003Cp\u003EJanuary 11th , 2015\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/td\u003E\u003C\/tr\u003E\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESelection of abstracts for full-paper submission\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/td\u003E\u003Ctd\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFebruary 10, 2015\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/td\u003E\u003C\/tr\u003E\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFull paper submission\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/td\u003E\u003Ctd\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMay 10, 2015\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/td\u003E\u003C\/tr\u003E\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDecision on full papers\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/td\u003E\u003Ctd\u003E\u003Cp\u003EJuly 10 2015\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/td\u003E\u003C\/tr\u003E\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd\u003E\u003Cp\u003ERevision and resubmission (if necessary)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/td\u003E\u003Ctd\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOctober 10, 2015?\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/td\u003E\u003C\/tr\u003E\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPublication of special issue\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/td\u003E\u003Ctd\u003E\u003Cp\u003E2016\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/td\u003E\u003C\/tr\u003E\u003C\/tbody\u003E\u003C\/table\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EInquiries\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAll inquiries regarding this call should be directed to Drs.

A number of planning programs are offering coursework in food systems planning. In short, food systems planning has arrived. As food systems planning matures, scholars and educators grapple with new questions and challenges. To facilitate a conversation about future directions of food systems planning, a workshop and lunch reception will be held in conjunction with the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning Conference in Philadelphia, PA.
