As the scientific evidence for human-caused climate change grows and awareness of the related health impacts increases, there is a need for nursing leadership in addressing climate change as a priority public health concern. The nursing role related to climate and health encompasses the nursing domains of research, education, practice, and policy/advocacy. Further, the Nursing Collaborative on Climate Change and Health - a partnership that includes the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments, Climate for Health, and national nursing organizations - provides visible nursing leadership on climate change as a health imperative and creates momentum for solutions that nurses can engage in personally, in their communities and within the health sector.
