“A healthy planet equals healthy people. Humankind will be dealing with the effects of climate change for centuries. Even if we stopped all greenhouse gas emissions tomorrow, we are still committed to another 0.5°C of warming due to climate inertia. But there is still a window of a few years during which we could avoid catastrophic climate change if we take bold action…We must address climate change because we have no choice.”

Dr. Robert Dubrow has been heavily involved in both the research and educational mission of Yale School of Public Health. Moved by what he sees as the greatest public health challenge in this century, Dr. Dubrow has committed himself to a new direction on education, training, and research on climate change and health.
