Global advocacy to address the threat of climate change has become one of the leading social movements of our age. Rising temperatures, air pollution, growing scarcity of water, food distribution bottlenecks and famine, and the spread of infectious disease—all of these climate-related factors contribute to the rapidly accelerating health concerns, particularly in children, underserved communities, and the populations of developing nations. How can we capitalize on public concern about climate change to address its root causes in a meaningful way? How can we ensure that public health concerns due to climate change and its effects don't become just another thing that humans are forced to endure?
