Climate Change and Schools: Implications for Children's Health and Safety.

Climate Change and Schools: Implications for Children's Health and Safety. Creat Nurs. 2019 Aug 15;25(3):249-257 Authors: Chalupka S, Anderko L Abstract The predicted impacts of climate change are fast becoming a reality and are already adversely affecting human health and health systems. Events such as flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires are challenging communities to re-evaluate whether their schools provide a safe, healthy environment. Among the populations most vulnerable to the impacts of our changing climate are our children. Nurses are key to supporting mitigation and adaptation efforts to promote more resilient school environments, using approaches based on values of the common good and social justice.
