Nurses and midwives are already seeing the health impacts of the climate crisis and it will continue to test all aspects of health systems as the crisis worsens.
The NSWNMA strongly supports action on the climate and recognises the major implications of the climate crisis on our health system and the health of our communities. It also recognises the massive consequences of inaction.
Our union is affiliated with the Climate and Health Alliance and the Global Green and Healthy Hospitals Network.
Our union has a dedicated Climate Change Action Reference group, made up of members who are committed to promoting climate action within our workplaces and within our healthcare system.
