    • Hello, 

      Please have a look at the article, Built to last? Local climate change adaptation and governance in the Caribbean – The case of an informal urban settlement in Trinidad and Tobago , that we wrote some years ago about CC adaptation in Trinidad and Tobago, it contains many interesting insights that we gained during our fieldwork in a squatters settlement. Here is a link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212095513000631,

      Please don't hesitate to get back to me for the full article PDF.

      Kind regards,

      Lideke Middelbeek.

    • Dear colleagues,

      From the Netherlands, we would like to share our experience with our integral community approach. Currently we are active in 108 municipalities, reaching over half a million young people (0-19 yrs old). Many of these municipalities have shown positive results. Below this message you will find some information about our programme and please also have a look at our attached brochure. Don't hesistate to contact me in case you have any remaining questions.

      Kind regards, Lideke Middelbeek

      Jongeren Op Gezond Gewicht (JOGG/Young People at a Healthy Weight)  is a movement which encourages all people in a city, town or neighbourhood to make healthy food and exercise an easy and attractive lifestyle option for young people (0-19). It focuses on children and adolescents themselves, along with their parents and direct environment. JOGG advocates a local approach in which not just the parents and health professionals, but also shopkeepers, companies, schools and local authorities join hands to ensure that young people remain at a healthy weight. The Dutch JOGG-approach is based on the successful French EPODE approach (see also the contribution of Ms. Pauline Harper on this forum) and consist of 5 pillars:

      – Political and governmental support

      – Cooperation between the private and public sector (public private partnerships)

      – Social marketing

      – Scientific coaching and evaluation

      – Linking prevention and healthcare

      Currently 108 municipalities in the Netherlands are using the JOGG-approach to promote a healthy weight among their youth. At national level JOGG is coordinated by the  foundation Jongeren Op Gezond Gewicht, based in The Hague.
