The burning of fossil fuels is driving severe and escalating health impacts—air pollution, heat illness, disease spread, and mental health harms—felt most acutely by vulnerable communities.

This fireside chat conversation will unpack how public health voices can challenge fossil fuel disinformation, disrupt the industry’s social license, and champion a rapid and just transition.
