Become a HealthCare Advocate for Climate and Health

"Climate change is among the major public health issues of this century, if not the most significant public health opportunity currently facing the Earth. Climate change has wide-reaching effects on multiple disease processes and patterns through differing causal pathways.  Climate change is a health equity and environmental justice issue.  The appropriate public health approach to addressing climate change is multi-faceted and requires collaboration across the disciplines of research, clinical care, education, and community partnership."
