The Urgency of Climate and Health: Building Power to Create Equitable Change
That was the title of the Kresge Foundation’s Climate Change,
Health & Equity conference that our Senior Community Health
Planner, Belén Seara, attended as part of a Bay Area cohort of
health equity professionals. The event brought together community
organizations and health professionals to accelerate the ongoing
work aiming to address the intersection of climate change, health
and equity. The goal is to strengthen frontline communities
resilience against climate change while improving their health
outcomes. It was inspiring to see how health professionals across
the nation are taking advocacy and policy change in their hands
to advance healthy, equitable climate change policies. Check out
