What Role Does Climate Change Play in Health?

Climate change is increasingly recognized as a significant threat to health. It can lead to increased heat-related illnesses, worsen chronic conditions, and exacerbate mental health issues due to the stress of extreme weather events. Nurses need to be aware of the health implications of climate change and be prepared to address them in their practice. This includes advocating for sustainable practices within healthcare settings to reduce the sector's carbon footprint.
