Those who need the most aid and resources will surely receive significantly less than those with the ability to manage the issues to come. This is not a controversial issue; it is a bipartisan issue with growing generalized consensus – we can all agree that this is a matter of survival for all persons but especially for those most neglected by society. It is our role as healthcare providers to ensure the health and prosperity of all people regardless of sex, gender identity, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, religion, and socioeconomic status situation. I would like to call upon my peers to take initiative and lead and to be deliberate with their efforts in combating the Climate Crisis.

Working together and by not giving up, we will achieve a cleaner and healthier future for all – after all, we only have 1 planet and 1 life to live.
