Welcome to Fossil Free Health

We are a network of doctors, nurses, allied health professionals and students working hard to accelerate the transition to clean energy that is urgently needed to avert catastrophic climate change. Investing in fossil fuels today is viewed by many in the same way as investing in tobacco was twenty years ago – as both a financial and reputational risk.
