Climate change for gastroenterologists: understanding the basics

This article, published online in Frontline Gastroenterology, is due to form part of a special issue of the journal on the topic of climate change. It explains how the principles of sustainable healthcare can be applied to gastroenterology, summarises the impacts of the changing climate and of pollution on health (both globally and in the UK), and through a glossary gives an introduction to terms related to the triple planetary crisis (climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss).
