Medical Students for a Sustainable Future hosted our annual conference, Climate Health Equity Day on Saturday, February 28, 2026 in collaboration with the Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health. This was our biggest conference yet!
Our goal is to create a space for students in the health professions (not just medical students!) to build community and connect with leaders in the climate and health space. The conference featured research sessions where students presented projects related to the health impacts of climate change, climate-smart health care, curricular development, quality improvement, educating decision makers, and creative works.
