The destabilization of Earth’s climate is a grave threat to human health. Advocating for a life-sustaining planet and policies that put human health first, Oregon PSR’s Healthy Climate Program works for a rapid transition to a highly efficient clean energy economy that will provide direct improvements to public health.
