Climate Change Emergency Leading climate change experts and
organizations have observed that the world urgently needs a
worldwide emergency response to the deteriorating planetary
climate change crisis. CLIMATE CHANGE EMERGENCY MEDICAL RESPONSE
provides the online resources for this most vital emergency
response ever. Scientists, clinicians, and health professionals
have called for attention to climate change on both practical
and ethical grounds. Several well-established principles point
to a vigorous, proactive public health approach to climate
change. But this is not happening. — Howard Frumkin, MD, DrPH,
US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to the American
Public Health Association, March 2008 The mission of CLIMATE
CHANGE EMERGENCY MEDICAL RESPONSE is to secure a SAFE GLOBAL
CLIMATE for today's children worldwide and for future
generations. To do this we propose that global climate change be
addressed as the human rights / population health / survival
issue of our time, potentially of all time.
