Thanks @abcnews for having me on this AM to talk about the new @aihw report on extreme weather +hospitalisations. The best thing we can do to protect health is decrease carbon emissions, and adapt our communities and health care systems. abc.net.au/news/2023-11-02/e… @DocsEnvAus

Like so many others, I will shortly be heading to bluer skies - please give me a follow in the new place! Link in my profile 👆

It’s not an energy transition that we need, it’s an economic transition.

If fossil fuel lobbyists at #COP29Baku all represented one country, it would be the 4th biggest country of delegates at COP - Mike Davis CEO @Global_Witness at @ClimateReality event - time to rethink the COP process, autocratic petrostates should not be hosting.

I live in Australia and I'm devastated. Aside from the fact that I care about the health, futures + lives of people wherever they live, + aside from implications for global security, this is why I, as a citizen of this planet, feel utterly broken by what has unfolded today.

And we don't give up.

The time now is for action, not just words. This is an excellent road map to where we need to go. If we did all of these things imagine the gains we would make in protecting the health of communities globally! Thank you, @MarinaRomanello @LancetCountdown @WHO

This is the single most important thing that can been done to protect not only human life, but the life of all things on this planet. @fossiltreaty

This is the @BOM_au forecasting for summer for Australia - sobering, and expected. The mission for health is clear - using health as a lever to advocate for rapid emissions reduction and phase out globally, and to act now to protect and adapt our communities. #climatehealth

We speak out about cigarette smoking and vaping We speak out about alcohol use We need to speak out with the same volume about the harm that fossil fuels are causing to health Fossils fuels are sickening and killing people - as doctors we see this every day - this is our lane.

Big thanks to @UniMelbMDHS for hosting @belle_workman, @georgetaiaroa, and I on our #MDSC panel! We discussed many things climate, inc high quality care, medicare reform, mental health, and pandemics. Energised by meeting so many passionate future medical leaders! #ClimateHealth

Social connections are vital to maintain health, and to build climate resilience. A growing body of evidence is showing that bridging ties in particular - such as those that transcend our usual social boundaries and siloes - save lives during climate related extreme weather.

Why is climate change relevant to all we do in health, and what part do we have to play? Looking forward to talking climate + health this Thursday 1pm ACST (UTC +9.5)! Register here for the webinar: bit.ly/4c3yH05 @SAHealth @CEIH_SA @DocsEnvAus @healthy_climate

Wonderful and important conversations on climate and health happening here today at #ISPRM2024 @yzhang01 talking now on translation of research into policy and the important work of the @theMJA @LancetCountdown team on health and climate change. @OurAbilities @climatehealth_

Thrilled to be here in Sydney talking about the intersection of climate, health and disability with @yzhang01, Dr Emma-Leigh Synott, Dr Maya Newman and Liala Cadelli at #ISPRM2024 @spinalcordmd @OurAbilities @DocsEnvAus

We did it! 5 days, many many kilometres and one big mountain! Go @DocsEnvAus - wonderful to connect with nature and think about how a healthy planet = healthy people! It's not too late to donate to support this important climate and health work 👇 doctors-for-the-environment-…

Tomorrow we hit the Larapinta! The @DocsEnvAus team is tackling the Larapinta Trail for a cause close to our hearts: protecting community health from #climatechange. Your donations mean the world to us! 👇 doctors-for-the-environment-…

Climate change hits emergency departments hard - impacting patients, staff, and infrastructure. My take on how the emergency medicine frontline must gear up. Read it now @EMAJournal! 🌍🚨#ClimateCrisis #climatehealth @acemonline onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Australia should be focusing on subsidising higher education, NOT subsidising fossil fuels (which we subsidise to the tune of $11 BILLION). It's a no brainer. #ClimateAction #climatehealth #HigherEducation

Looking forward to the publication of our chapter on Emergency Medicine in a Climate Crisis in the upcoming Routledge Handbook of Climate Change and Health System Sustainability. What a team! @heng_foong @JudkinsSimon @LaksmiSg taylorfrancis.com/chapters/e… #climatehealth
