Climate Change Member Reference Group

Working with members across the UK, the Climate Change Member Reference Group advises on climate-related health challenges and leads initiatives to protect future generations.

A member-submitted motion was passed at the 2020 climate AGM, following which RCPCH declared a climate and ecological emergency and formed the Climate Change Working Group.

This work is now embedded into business-as-usual health policy work for the College and the Climate Change Member Reference Group, which:

  • Shapes the continued RCPCH response to the climate emergency
  • Provides expert opinion to the College on matters relating to the impacts of climate change on child health and actions to take forward
  • Delivers the climate change eBulletin.

Committee Chair (Officer for Climate Change): Dr Helena Clements
