Leading a healthy response to climate change

Panel discussion: Tackling climate change represents the opportunity to save lives and improve health now through reductions in air pollution, increases in physical activity, improved diets, and better exposure to nature–as well as through the reduction of fossil fuel pollution related health threats. The health sector thus has many reasons to lead a healthy response to climate change. Yet despite the need to connect the dots between fossil fuel extraction and combustion, air and water pollution, and climate change, a health-focused framing of climate work remains as an under-explored opportunity.
