The most far-reaching climate victories aren’t won by climate advocates alone; they’re built through broader coalitions with shared stakes in the outcome. As states across the country face rollbacks and other attacks on climate and clean energy goals, building strong partnerships with diverse voices is critical for protecting policies already in place and securing stronger, more ambitious policies in the future. Climate, healthcare, and public health advocates have long worked together on campaigns that build safer, healthier communities, and there is much we can learn from these joint efforts.
We’ve convened a panel of experts at the intersection of climate, healthcare, and public health advocacy to highlight best practices and lessons learned from strong campaigns that leverage both climate and health advocacy:
- Shweta Arya, Senior Project Manager for Smart Surfaces at the American Public Health Association’s Center for Climate, Health & Equity
- Tim Cronin, Associate Director of Policy & Advocacy at Health Care Without Harm & Practice Greenhealth
