Abstract
Health professionals and health care organizations globally are beginning to recognize that climate change significantly threatens patient health and the sustainability of health care systems. To address these issues, health care professionals can use three approaches-mitigation, adaptation, and advocacy-to promote climate action, decarbonize the health care system, transform health care practice, and develop policies that protect the public. In this article, we discuss advocacy, focusing on the ways nurses can use their professional and personal voices to address climate change.
