I had the opportunity to share part of GDAR research at #ICOPH2025, which examined how a multisectoral approach can be crucial in addressing climate change-Non Communicable Diseases (NCDs) syndemic hazards in an urban context such as Yaounde, Cameroon.@GDARnetwork @Tiikm_SriLan

Climate change & NCDs impact us all, but especially our youth. Answering how does climate vulnerability within the urban environment in Yaoundé affect youth's physical activity & nutrition? This workshop empowers adolescents to design solutions for a healthier lifestyle. #HCD

[Awah Kum Tchouaffi PhD @tchouaffi]

Schools are at the heart of healthy communities! A Human-Centered Design workshop where school authorities & NGOs co-create solutions for urban health challenges impacting physical activity, diet & NCDs is Key in the Rapid Growing and Urbanizing city of Yaoundé.

[Awah Kum Tchouaffi PhD @tchouaffi]

Double-edged reality! Our Human-Centered Design roundtable unites School Education authorities & local NGOs who are both parents and authorities, Bringing real-world experience to climate change and NCDs policies, attaching policy to the realities of raising healthy adolescents.
