Forbes: “The Changing Climate is a Health Crisis: A Call to Action for Human Well-Being”
A recent Forbes article, “The Changing Climate Is A Health Crisis: A Call To Action For Human Well-Being,” contributor, policymaker and physician Bill Frist, MD, details how climate disasters are affecting humans – and health and well-being.
In the article, Frist states: “As a physician and policymaker, I believe we need to urgently recognize climate change for what it truly is – a public health crisis – and act accordingly. The health effects of climate change are immediate, widespread, and deeply inequitable. But solutions exist, and now is the time to come together to align our understanding of the health challenges and actively execute on those solutions before the problem grows beyond our reach.”
