We define health not just in terms of physical well-being, but also in terms of mental, social, and environmental well-being. This broad definition of health requires the engagement and recognition of a wider health community invested in promoting and providing individual and public health.

Climate Health Now defines this wider health community to include, but not be limited to, those involved in public health, clinical care services, community healing, health sector administration, health research, and development of healthcare products.  We welcome trainees, students, and those who have retired from these fields. 

When all members of the health community work together, more voices are heard and elevated, and better solutions emerge. Only in this way can we achieve our best possible individual, community, and planetary health. By harnessing the trusted voices of all members of the health community, we can work in partnership with our allies towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions and protecting everyone from the health harms of climate change. 

We welcome all members of the health community in California to join us. We can – and must – all be climate advocates.
