Top docs’ scariest healthcare predictions

Climate change is a global health crisis with far-reaching impacts on every part of our lives—from the food we eat to the spaces we inhabit—and it will disproportionately impact marginalized populations.

Physicians predict that the climate crisis will heighten food insecurities, increase the burden and incidence of non-communicable diseases, and contribute to reduced access to and availability of quality care, among other predictions.

Healthcare stakeholders play a crucial role in addressing the adverse effects of climate change on public health, underscoring the ongoing (and growing) issue of the HCP shortage.
