“In our North Vancouver session, we heard from Dr. Courtney Howard, a North Vancouverite currently working in Yellowknife. She pointed out that the World Health Organization has identified climate change as the number- one health threat of our time, while the medical journal, The Lancet, has called it the number-one health opportunity. Cautioning against a climate policy that is based on waiting and wishful thinking, she said that, as a frontline medical worker, “I know what its like when
