# Climate Change, Human Health, and Sustainability

by Gregg Furie, MD
a recorded presentation at the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine

Climate change is considered by many to be the greatest public health threat of our time, yet paradoxically the health sector is a significant contributor to the problem. Learn how climate change adversely affects human health, how healthcare delivery contributes to climate change, and how health systems are working to improve the health and well-being of patients and the planet.

Since appointed to the role of medical director for Climate and Sustainability in 2021 at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Gregg Furie, MD, MHS, has overseen a breadth of climate initiatives at the hospital — from educating clinicians to promoting sustainable practices to advocating for change on a national level. Furie is also a Brigham primary care physician and a member of the Massachusetts General Brigham Climate and Sustainability Leadership Council and a member of the Brigham Climate Action Council.
