How does climate change affect health? And what can medical professionals do about it? Those are the very questions we hope to answer here on Code Green: The Climate-Smart Health Professional. In each episode of this series, we’ll highlight the intersections of climate change and health by exploring patient case studies that exemplify the climate-health nexus and by spotlighting planetary health curriculum initiatives at medical schools around the world. Hosted by Phoebe Cunningham and Elizabeth Whidden, edited by Liana Haigis, and produced by Natasha Sood and Sarah Hsu.
