After leading from the front lines of the pandemic, nurses around the world are joining forces to tackle another global crisis: climate change. Through its Nurses Climate Challenge project, nonprofit healthcarewithoutharm teamed up with Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments to transform nurses into “climate champions.” The mission: build awareness of the toll that climate change is taking on the planet—and human health.
 
“We wanted to elevate the profession and demonstrate that nurses are capable of being leaders in the climate arena,” says Shanda Demorest, the project’s coordinator and associate director of climate engagement and education at Health Care Without Harm, Anchorage, Alaska, USA.
 
To turn that vision into reality, the group relied on a “very iterative” approach. “We were really big into design thinking. We asked: What do nurses need? What do faculty need? How will it be used?” And the team collected feedback from “not just nurses in hospitals but also those working in communities, schools, and higher education.”
 
The result is an education and enablement blitz that puts climate resources into the hands of nurses. “We empower nurses to be the change—to be the ones shifting our profession's trajectory when it comes to climate,” says Demorest.
 
Following successful rollouts in the U.S. and Europe, the team is now looking at Africa and Latin America.
