Climate Change Interventions

American Nurse

1.75 CE

At this crucial moment, amid COVID-19 recovery, our collective healing requires us to re-examine and remake our professional meaning and purpose toward improvements for the next generation of nurses. We suggest climate change activities as corporate social responsibility (CSR)—which aligns with nursing’s commitment to equitable and planet-safe health—for individual nurses, nurse managers, and leaders to influence and contribute within their organizations.

Takeaways:

• The nursing profession must address climate change to protect and promote human health.
• Climate change activities as corporate social responsibility provide a promising avenue to both scale successful organizational initiatives and to generate hope, transformative improvements, and renewed professional commitments for nursing.
• Addressing climate change through corporate social responsibility is urgent and timely in the COVID-19 disaster recovery period for the nursing profession.
