Michael Lester, a Presenter for Radio Northern Beaches based in Sydney spoke with Dr. Kate Wylie, the executive director of 'Doctors for the Environment Australia' (DEA), in anticipation of the Climate and Health Community Forum and panel taking place in Avalon on 19 February 2025.
During the discussion, they address the climate-related health challenges currently impacting local GP practices, including issues such as heat, storms, flooding, and fires. These challenges are reflected in the rising demand for ambulance and hospital services, as well as an increase in deaths from natural disasters.
It is essential for all Australians to take the necessary steps in planning and preparation to effectively address these challenges at an individual level.
