On Day 3 of National Public Health Week, APHA asks us to remember that "Climate change poses as the most pressing threat to public health. Urgent collaborative actions are needed to mitigate the health repercussions of climate change so that we can all have a safe and healthy planet to live, work and play in." #climatechangeshealth #climatesolutions #publichealth #nphw

As climate change accelerates, its impact on public health is becoming increasingly evident. Dr. N. Krishna Reddy, CEO of ACCESS Health International, emphasizes the urgent need for a comprehensive approach that bridges climate action with health initiatives. By integrating health into climate strategies, enhancing air quality, and promoting sustainable urban planning, we can protect our communities and ensure a healthier future. Let's work together to ensure that our climate action plans include robust health systems as a core component. #ClimateHealth #SustainableFuture #ResilientHealthcare #IntegratedSolutions #HealthyCommunities #ClimateAction

NDCs: A Path to Stronger, Climate-Resilient Health Systems Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) present a vital opportunity for increased ambition in public health. By integrating health into climate action, NDCs can pave the way for the creation of climate-resilient health systems that are better prepared to withstand the impacts of climate change. Prioritizing health adaptation programs ensures that vulnerable populations are protected from climate-related health risks like heatwaves, disease outbreaks, and extreme weather events. Strengthening health infrastructure and services in the face of climate challenges will not only save lives but also build healthier, more sustainable communities. Investing in climate resilience is investing in the future of public health. #climatejustice

Climate change is a public health emergency. Ending fossil fuels is a new beginning for health. Clean energy offers a path to safeguard current and future generations, ensuring everyone, regardless of age, income, race, or location, can thrive. We call on leaders to prioritize health in climate policy and take bold, urgent actions for a just and sustainable future for all. AAFA President and CEO Kenneth Mendez will present information from our 2024 Asthma Capitals report highlighting the ways data can be used to drive policy change on an AccuWeather panel this Thursday.
