#COP28

“The Health Day at #COP28 is really significant

“The Health Day at #COP28 is really significant for nurses being the largest group of health professionals. There are a lot of sessions on building climate resilient and low-carbon health systems and nurses are really pivotal in accelerating that transition.”

Patricia Nayna Schwerdtle, Heidelberg Institute

“Nurses are here to put pressure on these countries to really be looking at how climate impacts health. We won’t be able to prevent the majority of diseases going forward unless we’re really looking at climate change.” Katie Huffling, ANHE #COP28

The ANHE PFAS Toolkit is here! Nurses and other he

The ANHE PFAS Toolkit is here! Nurses and other healthcare providers are likely familiar with hearing the term “PFAS” or “forever chemicals” and that these chemicals can impact human health. There are thousands of PFAS (short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) chemicals which can be found in a variety of products most people use on a daily basis. However, most healthcare providers do not know where to find information critical to providing evidence-based care when a patient comes in with questions nor how to manage care if an exposure is identified.

The purpose of this toolkit is to provide useful information to guide clinical practice and decision making. Patients, community members or colleagues may present with questions around PFAS exposures, PFAS testing and/or results, health implications, and what actions they can take to reduce exposures. We hope this toolkit will be a valuable resource for providing guidance around these questions.

The City of Atlanta has leased 381 acres of Weelau

The City of Atlanta has leased 381 acres of Weelaunee Forest to the Atlanta Police Foundation for a militarized police training facility funded by corporations. At the price of $90 million, it includes a mock city to practice urban warfare, tear gas and explosives testing, dozens of shooting ranges, and a Black Hawk helicopter landing pad. It is located in a majority-Black area, resulting in significant disenfranchisement and continued racism against its residents who have few easily accessible official channels to register their dissent.

The project is supported by the Atlanta Committee for Progress, which is composed of over 40 corporate elites including the CEOs of Coca-Cola, Home Depot and Cox, with an aim to further the surveillance of the population, stifle dissent, and create conditions for gentrification of the city.

American drivers overwhelmingly support #cleanerca

American drivers overwhelmingly support #cleanercars standards that will save drivers money and reduce passenger vehicle pollution.

A vast majority- nearly 95%! of Americans surveyed said that fuel economy is an important factor when buying or leasing a new vehicle. Drivers know that efficient cars save them money and pollute less.

Nurses are urging NHTSA to strengthen the final rule to maximize the benefits that nurses know will work in tandem with EPAs clean cars standards that will protect public health and address climate change.

The Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments (ANHE) is delighted to announce the publication of #EnvironmentalHealth in Nursing 3rd Edition – an update to our award-winning open access textbook for #nurses and other health professionals.

The third edition represents the latest in environmental health nursing research, education, advocacy, and practice. There were so many excellent chapters that had missed the deadline for inclusion in the second edition, we quickly updated the second edition so that all of you could read them as well. Updated and new chapters include the climate justice chapter, PFAS, and a chapter on climate change and children’s health.

1 year later, Georgia is already reaping the benefits of a transition to a clean economy being driven by federal climate and clean energy investments in the manufacturing of batteries and other clean technologies.

Tomorrow, August 16th, nurses, local officials, and climate advocates will celebrate those investments with the first anniversary of the bill that made them possible- the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). In addition to billions of dollars in funding for clean energy and clean transportation, the IRA also increased funding for air monitoring throughout Georgia and the rest of the nation. One key local benefit being highlighted is an IRA- funded grant of nearly $500,000 to Atlanta's Center for Sustainable Communities, allowing them to expand the network of air quality monitors in Atlanta. Join us on Facebook live tomorrow morning for remarks followed by a live installation of one of the funded air quality monitors.
