The climate crisis is a health emergency. As health professionals we have the power to use our voices to catalyze the urgent action we need to protect our patients, our communities, and our health.

California Climate Health Now, a coalition of doctors and health professionals mobilizing the health sector to fight the climate crisis, is excited to offer our first Climate Change and Health Advocacy Skill-Up!

Come learn from leaders in the field of climate and health in California, including:

  • Dr. Linda Rudolph of the Public Health Institute
  • Martha Dina Arguello of Physicians for Social Responsibility - Los Angeles
  • Barbara Sattler of Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments
  • Kathy Dervin of 350 Bay Area
  • Erin Rodriguez of the Union of Concerned Scientists, and
  • Sally Morton of Sunrise Movement

Meet other health professionals to build community, and feel empowered to make a difference!

We are grateful to our sponsors, the UCSF Office of Sustainability and the UCSF Student Group on Human Health and Climate Change.
