The health impact of the Triple Challenge of Brexit, COVID-19 and climate change on Food Security in Wales

Public Health Wales’ WHO CC Directorate on ‘Investment for Health and Well-being’ have published a Spotlight Paper which looks at the Triple Challenge of Brexit, COVID-19 and climate change on Food Security in Wales today. The paper highlights how the combined influences of Brexit, Coronavirus and climate change will potentially impact everyone through the food that is produced, accessed, available and consumed.

It notes that the current point in time presents a ‘window of opportunity’ to strengthen public health messaging around healthy food behaviours with the increased profile which the Coronavirus pandemic has brought for public health and highlight the impact of food production, access and supply in respect to inequalities.

It forms part of a series of reports that highlight how this ‘triple challenge’ will have direct and indirect impacts on the health and wellbeing of the population.
