Abstract

The climate crisis and its harmful effects on human health are staggering. It is motivating clinicians to transform their scope of practice. Physicians and other clinicians are on the front lines of managing a growing surge of illness and injury directly caused by increasingly extreme temperatures, weather, and ecological transformation. But the joint institutional constraints of clinician socialization through training and the labor conditions of health care delivery tend to obfuscate and disincentivize the array of possible practical strategies for meaningful, collective intervention in the climate health crisis. How do clinical professionals respond?
