Invitation from Doctors For the Environment Australia:
Health and Climate Community Forum
Join us for a panel discussion on health and climate and how it is impacting our community in 2025.
Health is the most important thing we’ve got.
As doctors, we see more heart attacks, cancers, asthma, mental illness and more ill-health, due to our worsening climate.
We cannot wait any longer while we are trapped in the detrimental health effects of coal, oil and gas. We cannot risk 30 years of these health hazards while we wait for nuclear energy.
We have solutions now that are better for our health, can protect our environment, can ease the cost of living and give us, our children and our grandchildren a safe future.
For the sake of those you care about, lets discuss how we can Put Our Health First.
