About us

Health workers are not climate scientists. But understanding global environmental change and its impacts on physical and social systems is already important for clinical practice around the world, and this importance will only increase throughout the coming century.

This video provides a great summary of why health of the global population are so closely linked:

We're a group of students and young people from across the UK who work to raise awareness of the links between environmental change and health and advocate for the kind of future we want to see.

We aim to educate, advocate and act on the intersections between ecology, climate change, and human health. We also know that tackling these kinds of environmental problems, for example through clean energy, active travel and home insulation, can benefit both physical and mental health.  And we believe that young people should have more of a say in the policies that will affect their futures in such important ways.

We act locally and globally for a fairer, healthier future. We educate health students and workers about climate change and healthcare. We advocate for the health sector to take a greater leadership role in climate policy. And we take direct action when we need to.
