Leaving fossil fuels in the ground, where they belong, is a common sense public health measure. A rapid, just transition away from fossil fuels is an investment in health equity. For my patients, clean air is medicine, and the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, the prescription,” said Dr Laalitha Surapaneni, practicing internal medicine physician and national board member of Physicians for Social Responsibility.
