With environmental and health concerns taking center stage globally, a shift in the "polluter-pays" focus will have far-reaching implications for parents, healthcare professionals, scientists and advocates around the globe.
Lisa Jucca writes in a commentary for Reuters.
In short:
- As the urgency of climate change and health-related issues escalates, a redefined polluter-pays doctrine will prioritize holding corporations and industries accountable for their environmental impact.
- Nurses and doctors will have a vital role in advising patients on the implications of pollution on their health, making it essential to stay updated on evolving policies.
- Advocates and policymakers must adapt to this changing landscape, aligning their efforts with the emerging environmental and health priorities.
