Physicians are increasingly concerned about the climate crisis. In September, 2019, health-care professionals participating in Extinction Rebellion action blocked the entrance to the UK's Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy to protest about impotent responses to climate change. Health Care Without Harm has formed a Global Green and Healthy Hospitals Network, “which has over 1650 members in more than 75 countries and every world region, who are using innovation, ingenuity, and investment to transform the health sector and foster a healthy, sustainable future”.
