Abstract
Abstract: The consequences of climate change have led to a planetary crisis. This article reviews climate change causes and what is required to mitigate, or decrease, planet-warming greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution. The international Greenhouse Gas Protocol, which provides the framework for understanding how GHGs are identified and measured, is discussed, including actions nurses can take in all practice settings. We highlight nurse leaders working to find solutions globally and the necessary elements in nursing education that will help nursing and interdisciplinary students understand and prepare for a career in a warming world. Examples are included concerning how professional organizations can drive change at scale to tackle this critical challenge.
期刊介绍：
The American Journal of Nursing is the oldest and most honored broad-based nursing journal in the world. Peer reviewed and evidence-based, it is considered the profession’s premier journal. AJN adheres to journalistic standards that require transparency of real and potential conflicts of interests that authors,editors and reviewers may have. It follows publishing standards set by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE; www.icmje.org), the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME; www.wame.org), and the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE; http://publicationethics.org/).
AJN welcomes submissions of evidence-based clinical application papers and descriptions of best clinical practices, original research and QI reports, case studies, narratives, commentaries, and other manuscripts on a variety of clinical and professional topics. The journal also welcomes submissions for its various departments and columns, including artwork and poetry that is relevant to nursing or health care. Guidelines on writing for specific departments—Art of Nursing, Viewpoint, Policy and Politics, and Reflections—are available at http://AJN.edmgr.com.
AJN''s mission is to promote excellence in nursing and health care through the dissemination of evidence-based, peer-reviewed clinical information and original research, discussion of relevant and controversial professional issues, adherence to the standards of journalistic integrity and excellence, and promotion of nursing perspectives to the health care community and the public.
