Description

Hosted by Dr. Lisa Patel, a pediatrician and Executive Director of the Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health, this podcast focuses on how health professionals, policy makers, advocates, communicators, and activists are working to tackle the different sides of the greatest health crisis facing us today—climate change. The movement for climate and health justice is a broad one, and there are so many ways to fight for a healthier future. On Healthy Climate America, we'll talk with infectious disease experts, mental health clinicians, labor advocates, and many others from all different sides of the climate movement. We'll discuss what got them started, what keeps them motivated, their biggest challenges, and most importantly, how they stay hopeful. Whether you're a seasoned advocate, or just starting in your climate journey, this podcast is for you.
