About

MA Climate & Health Day was started by four Climate & Health Ambassadors for Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR) who want to help bring attention to the health impacts of climate change. 

During this lobby day, health professionals and health professions students met with policymakers to advocate for bills that aim to address environmental justice and improve public health, including:
  • An Act Establishing a Zero Carbon Renovation Fund (H.3232/S.2365)
  • An Act Advancing Clean Energy, Equity, and Innovation within Municipal Utilities (H.3150/S.2117)
  • An Act Incorporating Embodied Carbon into State Climate Policy (H.764/S.2090)
  • ​An Act relative to energy facilities siting improvement to address environmental justice, climate, and public health (H.3187/S.2113)
