📢California health community: sign & share this letter to Governor Newsom asking for $10 million for a Master Plan for Climate Resilient Schools in California. Climate change is a health threat to our kids - schools can be part of the solution! tinyurl.com/32wvuyn7

#climatechange is causing both warmer days and warmer nights—that’s dangerous bc it doesn’t give the body a break to cool down. Thank you ⁦CNN⁩ for giving me a chance to weigh in on the threats to health. #climateaction ⁦The Medical Society Consortium on Climate & Health⁩ cnn.com/2023/06/27/wea…

“This new recurring threat of terrible air quality from wildfire smoke is one big reason we believe that for a child born today, climate change may be the single greatest determinant of health over the course of their lives.” - Lisa Patel, MD, MESc nytimes.com/2023/07/02/opi…

Anyone have suggestions for short and condense best practices for talking to colleagues about climate and health - bonus points if the focus is on people working in the health/public health sector? Thanks! Ed Maibach Paige Knappenberger

Every Californian should call, write, or Tweet a note to their member of the state Assembly, urging them to vote in favor of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Yesss!!! Pediatricians check it out! 👇

Coal produces toxic air pollution. Combusting coal causes climate change. Proud to be here today to say NO COAL IN OAKLAND!!!!

Pediatricians and providers who care for kids - diesel school buses are dangerous for child health! Does anyone have a story they'd be able to share with me about a pediatric patient whose health has been impacted by a diesel powered bus - or improved by an electric school bus?

Why are we still burning dirty fossil fuels where our kids learn? California needs a plan to align our school infrastructure with our climate goals. It's time to electrify our schools! My latest with in Los Angeles Times with UndauntedK12's Jonathan Klein. latimes.com/opinion/story/…

Healthcare sustainability is not extra credit but should be required and core to the mission of healing.

Some helpful visuals re: how climate change hurts human health today👇 It's here now & escalating. Our best chance is to work together to #endfossilfuels & end #overconsumption (#overshoot). #extremeheat #wildfires #airquality #flooding #climatehealthemergency #climatecomm

.Gavin Newsom pediatricians like me understand that #climatechange will be the greatest driver of health for a child born today. While our schools struggle to prepare, sb#394 helps them take advantage of critical federal dollars to protect kids’ health and learning.

If we won every time, I'd question whether we were dreaming big enough for the scale of the problem. This coalition will be stronger for this setback, what we'll achieve for our kids and schools even bigger. Today we rest, tomorrow we get up and keep going.
