Health and Sport Week 2024
Our health and the health of our planet are inextricably linked. We know that active lifestyles including active commuting and plant-based diets have positive impacts on our health and the environment. When we address climate change, we improve the air we breathe, the water we drink and the places that provide us with shelter.
Healthy Trinity 2030 is one of three targets in Trinity's new Sustainability Strategy and and Healthy Trinity works towards the vision of being a university where climate change and biodiversity loss are addressed in a holistic, integrated and health-focused way to protect and restore our planetary home for future generations.
Launch 
Our launch will be a Green Week, Health and Sport Week crossover to celebrate Trinity on the Move. Climate action is an opportunity for health and movement and community and fun and to the Health and Sports Week Committee, Trinity on the Move is the perfect opportunity to showcase that.
Trinity on the Move is a full day of sponsored sport and physical activity that will raise money for the student hardship fund. Will you come along? Will you participate? You can register your team here or donate here. But you're welcome to come to the launch whether you're involved in Trinity on the Move or not.
Provost Linda Doyle will speak and we'll have a photo of people across College who are participating. The launch will be at 9am on Thursday, 14th March on College Park.
Keynote
Grant Ennis, author of the acclaimed book Dark PR, will deliver a public lecture on the role of corporations in framing the global problems of obesity, climate change and automobility.Grant is an important voice in the emerging public health debate on the Commercial Determinants of Health, (World Health Organization, 2023). He lectures at Monash University on activism, organising and corporate disinformation.
His 45 minute interactive public lecture will be followed by a panel discussion from civil society and public health leaders and policy makers and a networking opportunity.
