Dr Kate Wylie is a GP and Executive Director of Doctors for the Environment Australia. Based in Adelaide (Tarndanya), Dr Wylie knows that climate change is a health issue and believes that when we frame it as such, we invite the concept of treating it.
She believes that doctors have a key role to play in shaping the communities response to the climate crisis. By showing leadership on climate, doctors can show our communities the importance of climate action to protect the health of humanity and the planet upon which we rely.
In all her work, Dr Wylie applies a medical model to the climate crisis and as such offers a treatment plan for climate change. She seeks to activate her audience so they can help create the paradigm shift that we need to combat the climate crisis.
