Climate change is an existential threat to children’s health. Could pediatricians be doing more? A recent survey found that most pediatricians wanted additional training about what they could do to address climate change, how to advise patients, how to become more effective teachers about climate and health, how to become more effective advocates, and how to help their communities adapt to the effects of climate change. This session will describe tools available to become more active in taking action to address the climate crisis.
