Climate Policy that Acknowledges Human Impact
Climate change is fundamentally caused by human behavior and impacts every facet of human health and healthcare delivery. As the premier society that examines health and behavior, we have the unique responsibility and capability to address this existential threat to human health.
Our policy ambassadors educate lawmakers about evidence-based behavioral ways to mitigate climate change and its adverse effects on health, particularly for vulnerable populations.
SBM has a Climate Change and Health Special Interest Group (SIG), and SBM’s strategic plan calls for enhanced partnership with other organizations focused on climate change and carbon reduction. SBM is also actively working to reduce the environmental impact of its in-person events.
