Here are additional resources provided by panelists from the August 28 Facebook/YouTube Live Chats with Chase – Climate Change: How Should Social Work Respond:
Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health Endangerment Finding Toolkit (The Medical Consortium on Climate and Health said they need social workers in the health space to speak out. Click on the link and scroll to the bottom for details)
Background on the Endangerment Finding: The Endangerment Finding, issued by the EPA in 2009, is a cornerstone of public health and environmental protection. It legally recognized six greenhouse gases as air pollutants under the Clean Air Act, granting EPA the authority to regulate them. This foundational determination has enabled key regulations—such as vehicle emissions standards and power plant rules—to reduce climate pollution and protect human health. Now this critical safeguard is under threat. Efforts to repeal the Endangerment Finding—most immediately through the proposed rollback of tailpipe emissions standards for light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicles—risk dismantling decades of science-based policy. Such a repeal would not only block EPA’s ability to address climate pollution but would also accelerate harmful emissions at a time of growing climate-related health crises. Read the Consortium’s statement on the proposal here.
