The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health is calling for clinicians to be educated about climate change as part of their medical training and to get involved in environmental initiatives within the health service. The college conducted a global survey, finding that climate change is already affecting how healthcare professionals work, and that the issue needs more attention. The survey included responses from healthcare professionals from around the world, with 73% believing that climate change has impacted childhood morbidity rates. The college aims to explore the impact of climate change on child health worldwide and urges healthcare professionals to take action.
