Abstract
BACKGROUND: Public health has increasingly recognized the links between climate change and health, emphasizing the need to address related inequities. This is reflected in work led by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the U.S. National Climate Assessment, and leading health-related professional associations, such as the American Public Health Association (APHA). We ask how the focus of climate change-related topics in public health discourse has evolved, and what does this signal about the field's role and capacity to address this global crisis?
