Dr Emma Skowronski (GP): a doctor’s perspective on the impacts of gas, micro-plastics and heat on our bodies; the medical voice in climate action; working in Arnhem Land

Today’s wonderful guest Dr Emma Skowronski is a GP and mum of three tweens from Sydney.

Emma has been volunteering with Doctors for the Environment for almost a decade and takes us on a fascinating journey into the health system.

Emma outlines impacts of gas, micro-plastics and heat on our bodies. We also talk about the power of the medical voice in the incredibly politicised climate landscape; Emma’s work with Indigenous communities in Arnhem Land; and how she approaches it all.
