Climate Change and Health: Addressing Gaps Through Patient Education in the Emergency Department.

In November 2022, the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) took place in Egypt, bringing together global leaders to discuss the issue of climate change. The conference marked a shift in the focus of climate negotiations, with greater emphasis placed on adaptation and resilience strategies rather than on mitigation. The outcome of COP27 was the creation of a loss-and-damage fund to support countries most affected by the climate crisis. The message from the conference was clear, which was as follows: it is no longer possible to focus only on preventing serious consequences of climate change, and it is therefore necessary to invest in adaptation efforts, with special attention to the needs of the most vulnerable people.
