This Earth Day, learn about ACP's efforts to protect the planet
Among other initiatives, ACP has been working to educate our members and other physicians about the harm that climate change poses for human health.
As we celebrate Earth Day on April 22, take a moment to learn more about what ACP is doing to help protect the planet and raise awareness about the need for all of us to work together toward that goal. These efforts are especially important in light of a recent U.N. report that notes the world is at the point where it won't be possible to prevent catastrophic climate change.
ACP has been active in increasing the sustainability of our buildings and our annual meeting, decreasing our printed materials, and reducing business travel. We have also been working to educate our members and other physicians about the harm that climate change poses for human health. ACP's member toolkit on Climate Change and Health highlights our advocacy efforts and offers resources for members about how to help in the fight against climate change. ACP is also a member of the Medical Society Consortium on Climate & Health and has supported a Climate and Health Equity Fellowship through the consortium.
