Part 5/9:
Healthcare professionals, including pediatricians and doctors, are actively engaging in climate action because they see the direct impact on patient health and well-being. For instance, many doctors feel a duty to examine factors outside clinical settings that influence health outcomes—such as pollution and climate stability. Reinventing the sector involves shifting toward renewable energy sources, decreasing reliance on fossil fuels, and adopting sustainable practices in daily operations. Recognizing that climate change is already affecting health now—rather than in the distant future—motivates proactive intervention to prevent disease and reduce the environmental footprint.
