In relation to my message earlier today on public understanding of the health impacts of climate change, I am forwarding this message from our sister forum CHIFA.
[chifa] RCPCH survey of health professionals on the impact of the climate crisis on child health
Dear CHIFA members
If you are able, please complete this global survey being carried out by UK's Royal College of Paediatrics and Child health (RCPCH) on the impact of global heating on children and child health. Currently little is known about the severity of these effects and hence insufficient planning for adaptation is being carried out. Hence this survey will be of great value and is being sent out through all networks possible, to child health professionals around the world. Thank you for your assistance!
