Why Climate : Health Professionals for Action on Climate Change

Health professionals can be crucial allies in communicating climate change to the public. Through their various touchpoints in all areas of the community, health professionals represent a trusted voice and interact with people who may not otherwise be engaged in climate change. Health professionals can be the first contact to members of the public, asking questions about their health and climate change. We want to support health professionals as they educate and treat patients.

Why Climate is an information-sharing platform for health practitioners, intending to help support and educate health professionals on how climate and health are interlinked. The website's primary purpose is to act as a hub of information (in partnership with Nutsihpiluwewicik (Indigenous Nursing Program) and UNB Nursing school) to leverage nurses' various touchpoints to help begin the conversations around individual's health and the health of the natural environment. 

The first step is to understand the role nature can play in positively impacting your overall health. To help jump-start these conversations, we have created the Why Climate to start the behavioral changes that can help protect our climate and positively impact individual health.


Why Climate is a project of the New Brunswick Lung Association and the Foundation for Resilient Health.
