Abstract
Abstract: Climate change and sustainability represent new areas of nursing content for many nurses. Health-focused interventions are needed to address the health of the planet and mitigate the health impacts of climate change. However, research shows that nursing curricula and nurses' knowledge related to climate change are limited. This article discusses climate change and its health impacts across 10 categories and provides recommendations for personal and organizational sustainability practices.
