This week we are highlighting what climate change means for our communities and our world. Today we feature what climate change means for public health.

Recent United Nations reports from leading science experts have made clear that climate change is real, it’s caused by humans, and it’s already having negative consequences.

Next week, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is bringing together leaders from governments, businesses, and non-governmental groups for a Climate Summit to spur action to address the climate challenge.

It’s time to move from climate talk to climate action, and we need your voice. Learn what climate change means for health, and tell your friends, family, leaders, and social networks that you support climate action using the hashtag #climate2014.
