Dr Michelle Ananda-Rajah, ALP candidate for Higgins, Dr Roderick McRae President AMA Victoria, Dr Katie Allen MP, Member for Higgins, Prof Peter Brooks AM, Rheumatologist, Doctors for the Environment Australia, Sonya Semmens, Greens candidate for Higgins as Doctors for the Environment raise concerns about the health impacts of climate change, and what they are doing to respond to this public challenge. 

The event will include a Q&A session, where you will have the opportunity to ask questions of our candidates. 

Climate change is already affecting our health and is the most important health threat we face. In the Australian medical community, there is a broad consensus that more must be done by all levels of government to address the climate crisis and avert its impacts on human health.

In the wake of the UN COP26 climate change summit in Glasgow, the medical community - led by DEA, the AMA, and specialist medical colleges - is calling for a strong evidenced-based public health response to address the climate crisis.
