Leticia Nogueira: If you think the greatest impact of Climate Change on Cancer is through increased risk of melanoma, read this article.
Leticia Nogueira, Director of Health Services Research at the American Cancer Society, shared on LinkedIn:
“If you think the greatest impact of Climate Change on Cancer is through increased risk of melanoma, read this article. If you think climate hazards are mostly a concern for “disadvantaged” communities, read this article.
If you think there’s nothing you can do, read this article. Climate change impacts every aspect of cancer control.
While it is true that communities targeted for marginalization are impacted first and worst by the threats of climate change, nobody is safe.
Communities impacted first and worst are also the ones developing the most relevant solutions to the climate crisis, frequently with health co-benefits, and there is something each one of us can do today.
Read the article.
Look around.
You got this!”
