Our Food, Our Health, Our Earth:
A Sustainable Future for Humanity
Dublin is a living museum with medieval castles and cathedrals
alongside 18th century Georgian architecture from the times
Dublin was the most handsome city of the British Empire.
A walk over the city’s cobbled streets should start at City Hall and
Dublin Castle, both located on bustling Dame Street. These buildings
are positively steeped in history; City Hall was once the Royal
Exchange for the city’s merchant class, while the gorgeous gardens
at Dublin Castle cover the original ‘black pool’ from which the city gets
its name: Dubhlinn, or Dublin. Dublin Castle was also the seat of British
rule in Ireland for over 800 years until independence in 1922. There
are some iconic churches along the walk too. Majestic Christ Church
Cathedral pretty much spans the city’s entire timeline, having been
founded around 1062 by the Viking King Sitric. Nearby St. Werburgh’s
Church dates back to the 12th century. It’s the place where Gulliver’s
Travels author Jonathan Swift was baptised in 1667. Pass through the
cobbled streets of Temple Bar. Today, it’s home to a vibrant selection
of trendy boutiques, vintage stores, cafés, restaurants and markets.

WELCOME TO DUBLIN
We originally planned this EPH Conference
for November 2021 in Dublin, but COVID-19,
prudence and public health dictated
otherwise. We ended up with a successful
virtual conference in 2021 but in November
2023, we will be back in person, in Dublin.
Over the next decade we will all make
choices which will determine the future
of our advanced technological society.
The COVID-19 and monkeypox pandemics,
through which the world is now living, are
as graphic an example as could be desired of
the instability of our model of life, and the
need for action on One Health. In Europe,
we have paid a high price for our belief that
we were safe from infection, that we could
dismantle our public health systems, and
get away with it. Other countries to whom
COVID-19 spread from Europe have suffered
more, and paid even higher prices.
We have now run out of road on climate
emergency. 2021 was the warmest year on
record, and 2022 and 2023 are likely to beat
that record. The global climate is changing
rapidly. Building a future, any kind of future,
for us and for our children, demands a new
attention to sustainability. It’s tempting to
despair, to give up. Let’s not.
This conference
hopes to open up part of this discussion,
with a focus on health, and health care. We
will look specically at gender and health,
at health care delivery generally, the use
of digital tools, and the necessary stafng
and skills to provide good care. We will, in
line with the overall conference theme,
look in depth at the climate emergency, and
very specically at the human food supply.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine poses serious
risks to global food security that will require
a range of responses from governments and
inter national organizations. The unfolding
crisis in Ukraine will push up already-high
food price ination, and have serious
consequences for low-income net-food
importing countries, many of which have
seen an increase in malnourishment rates
over the past few years in the face of
pandemic disruptions. The Ukraine conict
not only exposes the evil of the current
Russian government, but also our failure
to create a resilient sustainable global food
supply. We can do better, and we have to do
better.
We look forward to seeing you all in person,
in Dublin. Dublin is well known as a literary
city, but our long history of public health
in Ireland is less well known. These two
elements of our history intersect strikingly
in one man, William Wilde, society doctor,
hospital founder, apprentice to Abraham
Colles, husband to Jane Elgee, herself
better known as ‘Speranza’, the poet of
revolution, father to Oscar Wilde, who needs
no introduction, and Willy, an alcoholic
and a journalist. Sir William, as he became
known, wrote extensively on eye surgery,
Irish antiquities, Irish folklore, and on the
health of the Irish population. You may
yet have a chance to discover his city, in
all its brightness and darkness, as well as
learning something more about making and
sustaining our futures.
