Abstract
A review of a local healthcare system identified the need for determining what barriers hinder advanced care provider (ACP) participation in climate change initiatives. The Climate and Health Tool was used to survey ACPs and provided valuable insight into developing a change proposal to increase ACP participation in climate change solutions. Increasing participation in pro-climate behaviors related to mitigating the direct and compound effects of climate change on health will improve patient outcomes. ACPs have an opportunity to improve patient outcomes and decrease unsustainable healthcare expenditures through improved patient education regarding actions that individuals can take to reduce their risk of exposure to the effects of climate change. Determining what barriers deter participation in climate change initiatives helps identify solutions to overcome the lack of involvement and motivation of engaging in behaviors that combat the effects of climate change on human health.
