Sustain Our Abilities
Climate. Health. Disparities.

Sustain Our Abilities is a committee of the Climate and Health Society focused on public engagement regarding climate change, health & disparities. As extreme weather and the climate crisis worsen and the importance of mitigation and adaptation efforts grow, Sustain Our Abilities has moved from being an independent organization to being the arm of the Climate Health Society which works to ensure people around the world including persons with the lived experience of disability, Indigenous Peoples, the youth, older individuals, people from lower and middle income countries, women, people of all genders and sexual orientations and people who are impoverished are engaged in solidarity in the fight against climate change so that we can all remain healthy & sustain our abilities throughout our lives. We believe solutions must be intergenerational, community focused & ensure social justice. Moreover, the key to many solutions is focusing on our built environment and healthy living. Increasing your active transportation, decreasing stress through exercise and meditation and spending time in green space are all sustainable ways to improve your health.
