The climate crisis is a public health emergency — and doctors play a fundamental role in understanding and addressing it.
Doctors for Climate, created by Instituto Ar, is the first Brazilian movement led by the medical community to combat climate change and air pollution.
We exist to mobilize doctors, generate knowledge and transform this awareness into action. Our mission is to ensure that health is at the center of climate discussions, influencing public policies and protecting lives.
