In recent weeks, numerous Australians have participated in various community forums focused on climate and health, organised by Doctors for the Environment Australia in key electoral districts nationwide.
Croakey readers can gain further insights into these events during a special election-themed #CroakeyLIVE webinar featuring DEA members and moderated by James Blackwell, Co-Chair of Croakey Health Media.
7-8pm AEST 15 April 2025
Dr. Kate Wylie, a general practitioner and Executive Director of DEA, along with Dr. Shaun Watson, neurologist and Chair of NSW DEA, emphasise that the forums have underscored the necessity of educating the community about the physical and mental health impacts of the climate crisis.
“Even individuals who were already aware of the alarming state of our climate and environment admitted they had limited knowledge of the associated physical and mental health effects.”
