Environmental changes impact our health.
Health professionals need to be prepared to respond.

A changing planet

Climate change, pollution, biodiversity loss, and other environmental changes are creating new disease patterns, threats to mental health, malnutrition, and safety risks. The magnitude of these challenges is unprecedented, with increasingly severe and frequent impacts felt across the world – most acutely in lower-income settings.

The future of medicine

What health professionals are seeing in hospitals and clinics is shifting – requiring new approaches to diagnosis, treatment, and advocacy. Health professionals must understand how their patients are affected by challenges like wildfires, extreme weather, nutritional deficiencies, disaster-related trauma, pollution, and ecological changes.
