Communicating on climate change and health: Toolkit for health professionals

Climate change is the biggest health threat of the 21st century. For many people, the negative health effects of climate change are already here.

While climate change is a big threat to health, implementing solutions to address climate change presents a huge opportunity to promote better health and protect people from climate-sensitive diseases.

Communicating the health risks of climate change and the health benefits of climate solutions is both necessary and helpful. Health professionals are well-placed to play a unique role in helping their communities to understand climate change, protect themselves, and realize the health benefits of climate solutions.
