In this week's episode of our Prioritizing Equity series, we are joined by physicians and scholarly leaders who are advocating for equitable climate action to remedy the disproportionate burden of health harms climate crisis puts on historically marginalized communities. Speakers will examine climate justice policy and the role of the medical community and experts in leading society toward a rapid and just transition away from fossil fuels (or towards renewable energy). In addition, panelists will discuss what actions physicians and medical professions can take to address climate change harms.
