Abstract

The article discusses the significant impact of climate change on dermatological health and the healthcare system's contribution to greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). It highlights how rising temperatures, increased UV radiation, and air pollution exacerbate skin conditions and inequalities in healthcare access, particularly for marginalized communities. The authors advocate for dermatologists to adopt mitigation and adaptation strategies, such as reducing waste and integrating climate change education into medical training. They emphasize the need for proactive measures to address the health implications of climate change and to promote sustainable practices within the field. [Extracted from the article]
