IPCRG and Climate Change

Introduction to IPCRG and Climate Change

IPCRG will work in partnership with organisations to help us and our networks achieve the "Triple Bottom Line" that takes account of the economic, environmental and social impact of our personal and organisational actions.   You will find links below and in the righthand bar to organisations that offer advocacy and communications material and to our own editorial published in November 2021 in npj Primary Care Respiratory Medicine.  We will feature a number of experts at our 11th World Conference, who will look at the current impact of global warming on respiratory health around the world, and offer practical measures for our day to day lives, in the consultation, and as advocates for health.
