I see it as a triple issue: climate change, pollution (air, land, water), and biodiversity loss. Historically our systems have looked at everything from a human only perspective but as we recognize that we cannot ignore our interconnectedness with nature because of ecosystem feedback loops, we understand that climate justice<\/span>[1]<\/a><\/span> isn\u2019t just for humans here and now but also for all the other living things (plants, animals, trees, insects, etc.) and future generations. Youth in\u00a0Montana<\/span>[2]<\/a><\/span> just successfully sued their state and a\u00a0river in Quebec<\/span>[3]<\/a><\/span>\u00a0now has person status! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n There is a lot that we can do. At the end of this article is a graphic of three intersecting circles developed by a UK company, Go Green Experts. Trying to hit the \u201cmaximum impact\u201d sweet spot is the way to go! Here\u2019s some ways to do this:<\/span><\/p>\n \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n Rashmi Chadha<\/b> is a mother, wife, and doctor. She is trying to be a healthy <\/span>planetarian! She provides addiction medicine care at Vancouver General Hospital and <\/span>is a Clinical Associate Professor in UBC\u2019s Department of Family Practice. <\/span>Dr. Chadha recognized that the physician voice was severely lacking in the public <\/span>forum on the climate and ecological crisis. In 2020 she co founded Doctors for <\/span>Planetary Health – West Coast and most recently instigated a new Vancouver Coastal <\/span>Health medical staff committee on Planetary Health. She is moved by the increasing <\/span>interest and dedication of physicians and other healthcare professionals taking up the <\/span>gauntlet to fight for our planet for this and future generations.<\/span><\/p>\n Accessibility: The gallery is wheelchair and walker accessible.
