Climate Is Care: A Conversation on Advocating Sustainable Change

Climate change is no longer a background condition; it is actively shaping patient outcomes, workforce resilience, and the environments where care is delivered. In this episode of Designing Care On-Air, we speak with Grace Kistner about why climate health is a frontline healthcare issue and how nurses are uniquely positioned to lead advocacy and systems change. From translating climate data into clinical realities to influencing policy, design, and organizational decision-making, this conversation centers advocacy as a professional responsibility and a powerful lever for transformation. Whether you work in healthcare, design, or policy, this episode challenges you to move beyond awareness and into action. Protecting and championing good health means advocating for the environments that sustain it.
