Climate change is a health emergency | Hanna Linstadt | TEDxCherryCreek

Climate change has profound impacts on human health. This video discusses the many ways in which our changing climate threatens health, and offers suggestions for urgent action to stop climate change and protect human health. Hanna Linstadt, MD is a practicing emergency medicine physician and the Living Closer Foundation Fellow in Climate Change and Health Science Policy at the University of Colorado Department of Emergency Medicine. She earned her undergraduate degree at UCLA where she studied ecology and evolutionary biology as well as international policy. She attended medical school at New York Medical College, and completed residency training in emergency medicine at Stanford University. During residency, she became interested in the connection between climate change and human health and how the health care system contributes to our changing climate. As the Living Closer Foundation Fellow in Climate Change and Health Science Policy, she is studying the relationship between climate change and health and learning how to best impact policy. She also currently works clinically in the emergency department, where she sees impacts of climate change first-hand. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
