Climate Change, Health, and the Role of Nurses
Abstract
Climate change is progressing and carries significant public health consequences that nurses will need to be aware of and address in practice and research. The Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments encourages nurses and professional nursing organizations to learn about the health effects of climate change and to conduct research and implement adaptive strategies to provide optimal patient care within a changing environment. Pregnant women, newborns, and children are particularly vulnerable to potential health effects related to climate change.
