Nursing Beyond Borders: Climate Change and Health Equity with Raluca Radu

In this week's episode, we hear from Raluca Radu, a Registered Nurse, Adjunct Professor at the University of British Columbia, and (at the time of recording) a Climate and Health Educator at Doctors Without Borders (MSF). Raluca reflects on how she unexpectedly discovered the health impacts of climate change during her graduate education, leading her to become an advocate for climate change content in nursing education. We will also interview her about her experience working to reduce the environmental footprint of the global humanitarian health care organization MSF, including how the impacts of climate change are unequally felt across the world.
