Climate Health Now
Organizing and mobilizing the California health community to advocate
for equitable systems-level climate action.
“The evidence is overwhelming: climate change endangers human health. Solutions exist and we need to act decisively to change this trajectory.
— Dr. Margaret Chan, WHO Director-General
We organize the health community because:
Climate Change is a public health crisis and health risk multiplier. The U.S. healthcare sector contributes ~8.5 of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, playing a role in worsening health outcomes with increased risk for vulnerable groups and frontline communities. At the same time, health community members are routinely rated as the most trusted messengers and are uniquely equipped to speak out about the connection between climate and health.
