The Fifth Vital Sign: Advancing and integrating climate and health policy

Researchers from the George Mason Center for Climate Change Communication and the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication released a new article, “Advancing and integrating climate and health policy in the United States: Insights from national policy stakeholders,” in The Journal of Climate Change and Health. This research is based on interviews conducted in 2024 (prior to the Trump Administration) with a diverse group of 65 policy stakeholders working on climate or health policy and related topics, including legislative staff, civil servants, academic experts, think tank employees, and advocates.

In this one-hour news webinar moderated by our Publisher and Editor, Alex Ip, two of the authors of the study, Drs. Julia Fine and Joshua Ettinger, will discuss the findings of the study, how they play out in an uncertain federal environment, and how countries in the Global South can take action.
