Climate Change Curricula in Family Medicine Residency Programs: Program Directors' Perspectives From a CERA Survey.

Background And Objectives: Climate change is a major threat to the health of people worldwide. The health care system deals with the immediate health-related effects of climate change and, at the same time, is a major emitter of greenhouse gas. This study aimed to investigate (a) the awareness and perception of climate change among family medicine residency program directors, and (b) the state of climate change education in family medicine residency programs.

Primary Care Clinicians' Attitude, Knowledge, and Willingness to Address Climate Change in Shared Decision-Making.

Background: Climate change poses a threat to the health of people worldwide. Little is known about the awareness of primary care clinicians toward climate change and if they are open and prepared to address climate change issues with their patients. As pharmaceuticals are the main source of carbon emissions in primary care, avoiding the prescription of particular climate-harmful medications is a meaningful contribution to the reduction of greenhouse gases.

Thinking "Green" When Treating "Pink Puffers" and "Blue Bloaters"-Reducing Carbon Footprint When Prescribing Inhalers.

The impact of man-made climate change is already affecting millions of people worldwide. The health care sector in the US is a relevant contributor, accounting for about 8 to 10% of national greenhouse gas emissions. This special communication describes the harmful impact of propellant gases in metered dose inhalers (MDI) on the climate and summarizes and discusses current knowledge and recommendations from European countries.
