Get Involved! Climate Action
Engaging the health voice on climate change has proven to be powerful in advancing equitable climate solutions. In order to bridge the gap between climate efforts and health professionals, MdPHA is teaming with the Energy Foundation.
We are intent on amplifying the health-voice on climate related issues by promoting awareness among health professionals on the interplay between climate and health, increasing coordination between and beyond health organizations, and empowering health professionals to engage in climate action. To join our efforts, contact Melanie Bolden at mdpha.climate@gmail.com | Recent Events On December 8, 2023, The Maryland Public Health Association and the Maryland League of Conservation Voters hosted its Climate Ambassador Communication Workshop and Networking event at Bowie State University in collaboration with EcoAmerica's Climate for Health program. The Climate for Health program featured a free online training covering the health impacts of climate change, solutions from the ground-level to policy & systems, and best practices for communication and engagement to advance climate solutions. Participants were invited to the communication workshop and networking event, which featured Maryland Delegate Adrian Boafo (pictured below), who encouraged participants to become involved locally and highlighted upcoming legislative priorities. |
