How palliative care can improve climate change communication
Original: How palliative care improves climate change communication
A physician writing on KevinMD argues that palliative care offers lessons for talking about climate change. The piece suggests the honest, compassionate communication style used with seriously ill patients—acknowledging loss, uncertainty and grief—could help clinicians and advocates discuss climate impacts without triggering denial or despair. It frames climate distress as something to be addressed with the same empathy medicine brings to end-of-life conversations.
Why now: It connects two current concerns—climate anxiety and health communication—at a time of growing public distress about climate change.
