Climate change and the future of health policy

Health Affairs' Leslie Erdelack and Chris Fleming discuss why
health policy is ready to enter the climate change discussion.
From the latest Greta Thunberg Hulu documentary to
president-elect Joe Biden's pick of John Kerry as a "climate
envoy," Leslie and Chris note climate change is too big of an
issue for the field to ignore.


 


This episode dovetails with Health Affairs first ever journal
issue dedicated to climate change and how the issue intersects
with health policy.
