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.</p>","PeriodicalId":7622,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Nursing","volume":"125 4","pages":"36-42"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143717875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
