97: Is CLIMATE Health a NON-PARTISAN, human health and safety issue? | Climate Health Now

Dr Ashley McClure, is a Seattle native who has been practicing outpatient internal medicine in Oakland, California since 2016. After becoming a mom in 2018, followed by the infamous Paradise Fire that fall, she realized that for this moment in history being a doctor isn't enough. She felt compelled to reorient her life around doing everything possible to help catalyze the transition to clean renewable energy in order to protect her daughter’s— and all our children’s futures.

Since her climate awakening, she’s been collaborating with health colleagues to bring our trusted voices to climate solutions advocacy, including organizing in the medical community as a CMA and AMA alternate delegate and as a co-founder and now co-director of the California-based nonprofit Climate Health Now.

She welcomes your reaching out if you’re inspired to link arms in activism and advocacy-- and she hopes you do-- together we can be powerful.

Brenda Nuyen, MD is a comprehensive ophthalmologist at a private practice in Los Angeles, CA. She is currently on the Climate Health Now Statewide Leadership Team.

Brenda was first introduced to climate and advocacy work through Climate Reality Project in 2020. She then discovered Climate Health Now as a way to merge her interests in both climate and health. Brenda is also on the Editorial Board of EyeSustain, a global coalition of eye societies, organizations, and ophthalmologists collaborating to make ophthalmic care and surgery more sustainable. She recently was part of the Climate Advocacy Lab's inaugural Climate + Health Peer Learning Circle cohort.
