The Medical Society Consortium on Climate & Health

As some of the most respected professionals in America, doctors and nurses have a crucial part to play in raising awareness of the public about these issues.  To facilitate the medical community’s awareness raising efforts, the Medical Society Consortium on Climate Change and Health (the Consortium) brings together associations representing approximately 500,000 clinical practitioners to carry three simple messages:

• Climate change is harming Americans today and these harms will increase unless we act;
• The way to slow or stop these harms is to decrease the use of fossil fuels and increase energy efficiency and use of clean energy sources; and
• These changes in energy choices will improve the quality of our air and water and bring immediate health benefits.

The Consortium is an affiliate of George Mason University.
