In this episode, we discuss how climate disruption is impacting non-communicable diseases, injuries and how the health system inadvertently contributes to the problem. Drew Shindell is the Nicholas Professor of Earth Science at Duke University where he studies climate change, air quality, and links between science and policy, and Dr Fintan Hughes is an Anesthesiology resident at Duke and has been advocating for the need for the healthcare system to pay closer attention to global climate disruption.
