The Call to Action on Climate, Health, Equity: A Policy Action Agenda (PAA) lays out 10 policy actions that address the climate crisis and benefit health. The PAA has garnered 150 endorsements (and counting!) representing millions of doctors, nurses, public health professionals, and their educational institutions and hundreds of hospitals. We need to empower our organizations and our individual colleagues to advocate effectively for the PAA. It starts with self-education. This panel will expand our understanding of policies on transportation, food/agriculture, and hospitals so we can advocate and better inform our colleagues.
