What does a transition to clean energy mean for our health? Clean air for all, fewer premature births, and fewer cases of asthma and other conditions triggered by air pollution. These solutions are working — it’s time to scale them up. #ClimateIsHealth

But the benefits that come from responding to #ClimateChange are also great. We can reduce illness and premature deaths & improve safety. We can achieve #CleanAir and #CleanWater so that no one’s health is at risk from dangerous pollution. #ClimateIsHealth

Communities are already facing climate-caused challenges, and they come at a cost. From missed workdays to hospital visits, the cost of #ClimateChange is too great to sweep under the rug. #ClimateIsHealth 🧵

The health impacts of #ClimateChange are leading to urgent calls for action. Across the board, we know that talking about climate as a health issue is motivating because everyone’s health is or will be impacted. #ClimateIsHealth SPCC Atlanta AHEC

Wildfires have become more frequent and more intense thanks to #ClimateChange . Smoke from wildfires can threaten lung health and is especially dangerous for individuals with pre-existing lung diseases or those who don’t have access to safe housing. #ClimateIsHealth

#ClimateChange and #AirPollution affect everyone, but not equally. Low-income communities and people of color often bear the brunt of these challenges, which compound on other social determinants of health that can leave communities at a further disadvantage. #ClimateIsHealth

Last week’s UN #IPCC report showed the impacts of #climatechange outpacing our ability to adapt. We need major investments in climate action that will protect our communities and avert the increasing threats to public health. #ClimateIsHealth Thank you Representative Kim Schofield

What is driving #ClimateChange and #AirPollution ? The burning of fossil fuels emits greenhouse gasses that are making climate change worse and dangerous air pollutants that have immediate impacts on health, especially in the surrounding communities. #ClimateIsHealth
