Climate Change, Climate Justice, and Healthcare: A Beginner’s Primer, Part 1

Climate change is shifting how we live across the globe, impacting some communities far more than others, and forcing us to continue working to mitigate the damage and adapt to a new and changing environment. Nowhere is this need more important than in healthcare. Join us as we learn from Dr. Robert McLean (rheumatologist, advocate for climate justice, former ACP President) and Dr. Erika Moseson  (pulmonary and critical care physician, founder of Air Health Our Health) about the impact of climate on health and the ways we can work toward climate justice.

Learning Objectives:

1. Explore the intersection between health, healthcare disparities, and climate change.
2. Describe the breadth of the impact of climate change on historically marginalized and disinvested communities and individuals.
3. Understand the various strategies to respond to climate change being adopted at the community level, frontline, and systems level in two different areas in the United States.
