Climate Reality Project South Idaho Chapter
Description: Climate change is impacting human health and wellbeing. Idaho healthcare workers are raising their voices to increase awareness and implement evidence based solutions. Our mission is to (1) drive innovation and healthcare sustainability, (2) expand knowledge of health impacts of a changing climate in a non-partisan manner and (3) advance climate resiliency through community action and advocacy
Idaho’s climate is changing and that will have a range of impacts on the Gem State, including an increase in temperatures, more extreme weather and wildfires, just to name a few.
Those impacts translate into health and economic effects for the people who live and work in Idaho. As part of their spring series on health and climate change, St. Luke's is hosting a talk tomorrow titled, “ Idaho Climate Economic Impacts ."
As the planet continues to warm and seasons begin to change many people are starting to see warmer winters and earlier springs which makes it easier to spread infectious diseases, especially as insects have more time to reproduce and expand into new territory.
