How Public Health can Address Climate Change
- Abstract
Greenhouse gas emissions from human activity are increasing the earth’s temperature, resulting in extreme weather events that have serious health consequences. Vulnerable communities will likely have some of the greatest exposures to climate‐related health impacts and the fewest resources to confront them. This is a public health issue and public health professionals can play a key role in addressing it.
