Illustrated graphic about the link between climate change and health. In the center, bold text reads “The climate crisis is a public health crisis.” Surrounding the text are images of people experiencing health and environmental impacts: a person using an inhaler, an older adult receiving oxygen support in a hospital bed, and a family carrying recycling bags. The Earth appears in two forms—one healthy and green, and another overheated with flames and a thermometer. Additional visuals include lungs, a factory emitting pollution, wildfires, a small plant growing, and a person jumping with arms open. The overall design highlights how climate change affects human health, air quality, and living conditions.

The climate crisis is a public health crisis. It's already shaping who gets to be safe, who gets care, and who is put at risk.

Because what does “choice” really mean if the environment around you is unsafe?If care is out of reach?
