As economies close in response to COVID-19, women face significant risks to their health and livelihoods. In the transport sector, where women are already significantly under-represented, they face precarious and vulnerable employment situations that any COVID-19-related economic crisis will accentuate, in a differentiated way to that facing men in the sector. Any post-COVID-19 response must recognise these gender differences, involve both men and women in its development and be equitable and inclusive in its impact. This free webinar draws on current experiences from experts around the world working in this field and will draw together thoughts on key issues and useful initiatives in place or planned to address them. *Practical information:* * *Speakers include:*Christos Xenophontos and Anna Wildt-Persson (PIARC Technical Committee 1.1 on the Performance of Transport Administrations), Gina Porter (University of Durham), Fatima Adamu (University of Sokoto), Claire Clarke (International Transport Federation), Naomi Mwaura (Flone Initiative). * *This webinar is organised jointly with the UK Department for International Development (DFID) <http://newsletter.oonops.net/Go/index.cfm?WL=30698&WS=154996_250005&WA=10207>.* * *Language: *English.

People living in poverty, in informal settlements and slums, and uprooted by war and persecution already face multiple risks every day, including climate change. Cyclones and hurricanes threaten island states in the Pacific, Indian Ocean, and Caribbean. Droughts, insect outbreaks, and floods could destroy crops on a massive scale from Africa to Asia to Latin America, hurting food security. Now, on top of these risks, vulnerable communities face the health, economic, and livelihood impacts of the COVID-19 crisis. It is not too late for the world to come together and reduce the scale of the humanitarian crisis before us. Already, many communities and local organizations are creating innovative solutions. International actors are stepping up as well — but more must be done. Global solidarity is more important now than ever. How can response and recovery efforts to COVID-19 build longer-term resilience to enable communities and countries to better prepare for future health and climate risks? What actions are needed to help countries and communities build back better to create jobs, improve economic security, and fill development deficits? WRI is bringing together a diverse group of speakers representing vulnerable communities on the frontlines and international aid agencies. *Speakers:* * *Sheela Patel*, /Founder and Director/, Society for the Promotion of Area Resource Centres (SPARC); /Chair/, Slum/Shack Dwellers International; /Commissioner/, Global Commission on Adaptation * *Rosemary Atieno*, /Chief Executive Officer and Founder/, Community Mobilization for Positive Empowerment (COMPE) * *Maarten van Aalst*, /Director, Climate Centre/, International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies * *Ulrika Åkesson*, /Lead Policy Specialist, Environment and Climate Change/, Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) * *Christina Chan*, /Director, Climate Resilience Practice/, World Resources Institute; /Co-Director/, Global Commission on Adaptation *(Moderator)* * Register <https://connect.wri.org/e/120942/ster-WN-J0mjR8DyRcaVSq2DVp7pEg/4qj23v/9947…> * For more information, please contact Nate Shelter, Nate.Shelter(a)wri.org <mailto:Nate.Shelter@wri.org?subject=Build%20Back%20Better%3A%20Resilience%20of%20Vulnerable%20Populations%20and%20COVID-19>. *Connect with us:**<https://connect.wri.org/e/120942/worldresources/4qj23x/994740493?h=GbBtUOor…> <https://connect.wri.org/e/120942/worldresources/4qj23z/994740493?h=GbBtUOor…> <https://connect.wri.org/e/120942/pany-world-resources-institute/4qj242/9947…> <https://connect.wri.org/e/120942/worldresources-/4qj244/994740493?h=GbBtUOo…> * <https://connect.wri.org/e/120942/2020-05-04/4qj246/994740493?h=GbBtUOor75yP…> 10 G Street NE Suite 800 Washington, DC 20002, USA www.wri.org <https://connect.wri.org/e/120942/2020-05-04/4qj248/994740493?h=GbBtUOor75yP…> *PHONE*+1 (202) 729-7600 *FAX* +1 (202) 729-7610 DONATE <https://connect.wri.org/e/120942/mplate-utm-medium-email-footer/4qj24b/9947…> *Email Preferences <https://connect.wri.org/email-preferences?ehash=e4b450d1c4e471ef282b5cb2284…> • Privacy Policy <https://connect.wri.org/e/120942/mplate-utm-medium-email-footer/4qj24d/9947…>***

Sad New-Chris Kochtitzky

by Ed Christopher

It is with a heavy heart that I received this from some of our friends at CDC. With the loss Chris not only have many of us lost a dear friend but he was also a national leader in bringing health and transportation closer together. You will be missed my friend. ============================ From: Hacker, Karen (CDC/DDNID/NCCDPHP/OD) Sent: Monday, May 4, 2020 12:48 PM Subject: a sad announcement With profound sadness I share that Chris Kochtitzky passed away on Sunday, May 3rd. Chris was a Senior Advisor in the Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity (DNPAO) where he served as an expert on the development of evidence-based guidelines and recommendations to increase physical activity across the country. He provided technical and subject matter expertise to state and community programs in the areas of policy, systems, and environmental interventions designed to promote active living. In his role with DNPAO and his collaboration across CDC, Chris supported program evaluation, strategic planning, and partner/stakeholder engagement in the areas of active living and related health promotion. He authored several publications including a 2006 MMWR on urban planning and public health and a 2011 article on ensuring mobility-supporting environments in aging populations in the Journal of Aging Research, as well as book chapters on environmental health law and the impact of the built environment on human development. He presented at numerous conferences and meetings throughout the United States, served as a panelist for the CDC Public Health Grand Rounds on Healthy Places in May 2007, and was recently recognized as a Public Health Agent of Change by CDC’s Office of Minority Health and Health Equity. Chris was also one of the founders of the field of built environment and health at CDC. He published an influential MMWR on the subject in 2006, helped organize CDC’s Built Environment and Health Group in 2008, and was a key contributor to the Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Promote Walking and Walkable Communities in 2015. Most recently, he was a driving force in organizing the Transportation Research Board (TRB), Conference on Active Transportation and Health. His work in this area supported TRB’s decision to create a Committee on Transportation and Health in February, a seminal moment in the field. Chris befriended and maintained relationships with so many inside and outside our agency. He served as a mentor to the Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) program, as well as to participants in multiple other internships and fellowships across CDC. He was always willing to offer advice and found creative and practical solutions to wide ranges of public health problems, particularly those requiring an interdisciplinary approach. He was a tenacious public health professional pursuing his work with vigor, charm, wisdom and intelligence. His death is a major loss for his friends, his field and for the agency’s work. Chris started at CDC as a Presidential Management Intern in 1992 and worked for several years as a policy analyst in ATSDR. In 1997, he moved to the NCEH Office of Policy, Evaluation, and Legislation where he served as its Deputy Director. In 2003, after serving for two years as the Associate Director of Policy for the Division of Emergency and Environmental Health Services, and a year as the Branch Chief of the Disability and Health Branch in NCBDDD, he became the Deputy Director of the Division of Human Development and Disability. The CDC Director at the time, Dr. Gerberding, recognized his service in 2006 when she hired him as the Healthy Community Goal Team Leader where he served until 2009. From 2009 to 2017, he served as the Associate Director for Program Development for the NCEH Division of Emergency and Environmental Health Services before joining the Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity as a Senior Advisor for the Physical Activity Branch. As one of the initial urban planners hired at CDC, he worked tirelessly as a bridge between the fields of planning and public health. In 2010, he began serving as an Adjunct Professor at Emory University and taught a course on Public Health and the Built Environment, with joint enrollment from Emory public health students and Georgia Tech urban planning, architecture, and engineering students. Through all of his work, Chris was known for the strength of the partnerships he developed and maintained. His networks allowed for the spread and scale of science and implementation of programs across federal, state and local agencies as well as the private and non-profit sectors. -- Ed Christopher Transportation Planning Consultant 708-269-5237
