Summary
Climate change poses significant public health and health equity challenges. Nurses are crucial in addressing the health impacts of climate change and promoting population health.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Health
- Public Health Nursing
- Health Equity
Background:
- Climate change is recognized as a major threat to public health and health equity.
- The National League for Nursing released a strategic vision statement in 2022 highlighting these concerns.
- Health systems are increasingly focusing on population health, making climate change implications critical.
Purpose of the Study:
- To emphasize the urgent need for nursing action on climate change.
- To underscore the role of nurses in mitigating health impacts.
- To align nursing practice with population health goals in the context of climate change.
Main Methods:
- This is a call to action based on a strategic vision statement.
- Analysis of the National League for Nursing's 2022 publication.
- Synthesis of existing knowledge on climate change and public health.
Main Results:
- Climate change presents one of the greatest public health and health equity issues.
- The health impacts of climate change are immense and cannot be overstated.
- Nurses are essential in addressing these health impacts across all roles.
Conclusions:
- Nursing must actively engage in addressing the health consequences of climate change.
- Integrating climate change considerations into nursing practice is vital for population health.
- The call to action from the National League for Nursing requires immediate attention and response from the nursing profession.

01:16What is Climate?
18.7K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

01:50Global Climate Change
24.5K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

00:57Population Growth
25.3K
Population size is dynamic, increasing with birth rates and immigration, and decreasing with death rates and emigration. In ideal conditions with unlimited resources, populations can increase exponentially, which plots as a J-shaped growth rate curve of population size against time. This type of curve is characteristic of newly-introduced invasive species, or populations that have suffered catastrophic declines and are rebounding.

01:50Threats to Biodiversity
22.4K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...
