“If the health care sector was a country, it would be the 5th largest emitter of carbon dioxide.” In this episode we emphasise why the climate change crisis is also a global health crisis. We further discuss the biggest culprits of carbon dioxide emissions and whether climate change policies are fair and equitable for low-and-middle-income countries. As always, we round it off with thoughts on global and personal steps we can take to address the climate crisis.
