    ACP Toolkit to Help Doctors Combat Climate Change

    September 15, 2016

     

    The American College of Physicians (ACP) during Internal Medicine Meeting 2016 unveiled a toolkit to help internists and other doctors advocate for effective climate change adaptation and mitigation policies. In a position paper on climate change and health, published by Annals of Internal Medicine on April 19, ACP warned that climate change will have devastating consequences for public and individual health unless aggressive, global action is taken now to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

    “Taking action on climate change creates a ‘win-win’ situation because it benefits public and individual health,” said ACP President Wayne J. Riley, MD, MPH, MBA, MACP. “ACP’s climate change toolkit is a resource for doctors and other health care professionals to use to engage in environmentally sustainable practices that reduce carbon emissions, educate their colleagues and community about the health risks posed by climate change, and advocate for a low-greenhouse gas emission health care sector.”
