🌱 Climate change is a health crisis, and nurses are on the front lines.
As global leaders gather for #COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye, ICN joins the @WHPAlliance in calling for health professionals and resilient health systems to be placed at the heart of global climate action.
ICN CEO and WHPA Chair @HowardCatton “There can be no climate resilience without health workforce resilience.”
Governments and global leaders must act to protect and support health professionals, invest in climate-resilient health systems, accelerate environmentally sustainable health care, and ensure health is integrated into climate policies and financing.
Nurses see the health impacts of climate change every day. Their experience, expertise and voices must be part of shaping the solutions.
