Why Should You Attend?
We know over 70% of people in the U.S. say they’re concerned about climate change, with 42% saying they’re very concerned, but only 14% think others around them are very concerned. You, as a public health professional, can help others to see they’re not alone in their concern and invite them to take climate action with you.
