COVID acts like climate change in the human body
🚨 COVID acts like climate change in the human body 🚨
We urgently need policies that are:
1. **CLEAN** - Clean indoor air must be a priority everywhere, immediately. We need urgent revisions to health and safety guidelines to reflect this.
2. **HEALTHY** - Leadership must be braver, more strategic, and willing to invest in the long-term: a “Longview” approach, combining bold leadership with rapid biomedical innovation (a modern-day "Operation Warp Speed").
3. **SUSTAINABLE** - We need radical, inclusive policymaking that incorporates health equity. This means actively engaging marginalized communities—especially those with disabilities—in every stage of decision-making.
Climate and systems designers, thinkers, builders….what else do you feel is needed to support healthy systems for planet AND people??
