Blog: UK nurse against climate change SKIP TO CONTENT
The blogger's introduction to their blog:
'So I have committed to writing a blog (there is a first time for everything!). My own private journey into a year, and hopefully much longer, of trying to raise awareness of climate change and its devastating effects on human health. And how we as nurses can help, both in our professional and private lives. I’m not an academic writer. Its not my strong point. But I’m passionate about what I do, I love nursing and I want to do something which will make a difference.'

Poverty, Climate Change and Health in Pacific Island Countries
This paper does not aim to present policies and strategies that might be adopted by Australia and the US, separately and together, to address the environmental and health problems that confront Pacific Island countries. Rather, its purpose is to summarise the underlying issues and the available data. As such, it is hoped that this paper can serve as a useful resource in the course of the development of the needed policies and strategies, and will help generate informed discussion and debate towards these goals.

The health effects of climate change: What does a nurse need to know?
Article abstract:
The scienti?c evidence for anthropogenic climate change has been established with increasing precision andthere are widespread concerns about its potential to undermine the public health gains of the past century.There is also a growing consensus across private and public sector organisations at national and internationallevel that carbon reduction should be a policy aim. Various international nursing organisations have madestrong position statements on the issue, arguing that nurses should be actively engaged as part of theirroles in both health promotion and clinical practice. We point to education for sustainability initiatives inother health professions and share resources for curriculum development in nursing. The nurses of tomorrowwill make a unique and signi?cant contribution to protecting population health in an unstable climate, if today's nursing educators can help prepare them for this role
