Abstract

Linda Rudolph, MD, MPH, director of PHI’s Center for Climate Change and Health, recently testified before the California State Assembly on SB 350, one of the key bills moving through the legislature, and serves as a national spokesperson to raise awareness of the connections between climate change and health. We sat down with Linda and Kathy Dervin, a senior climate and health consultant in the Center, to discuss the proposed legislation and the role of health professionals in supporting action on climate change.
