Nathan Hudson-Peacock

Climate change is poses the biggest threat to the future of our planet. But did you know, that climate change is also a health crisis? Nathan Hudson-Peacock shares his personal journey from expedition medic to eco medic. He shows us that protecting our planet is the best preventative medicine there is, and it’s easy to do.

Why the climate crisis threatens our health

Nathan is an emergency medicine doctor, expedition doctor and climate advocate. In 2019, Nathan embarked on a prolonged expedition to a remote part of the Himalayas, where he saw the real world impacts of the climate crisis on those who are contributing the least to environmental damage. His expedition medicine interests now focus on supporting ecological and environmental research groups and he has developed a passion for sustainable healthcare, founding the non-profit organisation, Eco Medics.

Nathan is a firm believer that healthcare professionals have a moral and professional duty to be leading voices and pioneers in the global response to the climate crisis, and believes that the healthcare industry as a whole has the power to catalyse the societal shifts that need to happen if there is to be any hope of halting this environmental, social and health catastrophe.
