Introduction Human activity over the past few millennia has been able to profoundly affect the Earth and become a sole source of environmental pollution. It is leading to a decrease in soil fertility, desertification, and land degradation, a decline in the quality of air and water, and the disappearance of biological species and ecosystems (Frumkin, 2016). Environmental pollution negatively impacts public health and human life expectancy and is the leading cause of climate change. Climate change affects all of the world’s population, and while it may bring some local benefits, such as the growth of food production due to a lengthening of the fertile period, in the long run, it will cause serious health issues from heat waves to insect-borne diseases. Policies Undermining Public Health in the Context of Climate Change The researchers state that storms, drought, flood, and heatwaves are direct results of global warming, which in turn cause degradation in water and air quality (Watts et al., 2015). Health issues that arise from these effects include mental illnesses, undernutrition, allergies, cardiovascular, infectious, and respiratory diseases (Watts et al., 2015). The ones least responsible for climate change are the ones who experience the most significant impact. Communities of low-income people and disabled are more limited in terms of economic, social, and political resources to manage the growing threats of environmental pollution. Children, however, are particularly exposed to the menaces of air pollution. They are physically immature, breathe more air, spend more time outdoors, and their immune systems are not fully developed, making them vulnerable to the negative impacts of contaminated air. Climate, Health, and Equity Policy Action Agenda (CHEPAA), which calls for actions against climate change, has more than 70 signees, but this document is only a set of recommendations and not the detailed roadmap for solving the problems. Organizations such as the American Public Health Association (APHA) and the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) have no authority over the environmental laws and only pass regulations based on those laws. This puts such organizations to passive positions where they are not able to give an immediate response to emerging environmental and health problems. The Problem The global political and business community should immediately take actions discouraging environmental pollution and promoting clean sources of energy to affect public health positively. The US is one of the front emitters of carbon dioxide in the world and the current policies of the federal government that led to withdrawal from the Paris Agreement only worsen the situation (Zhang et al., 2017). The positions of EPA and the APHA as recommenders will not have any significant effect on the current situation. Instead, policies and laws that would allow these organizations to enforce specific actions for the benefit of public health, especially children’s health, must be developed. Potential Solutions The first thing that must be assured is that the US is back into the Paris Agreement and meets every commitment made under it. Carbon-dioxide emission levels must immediately be decreased before imposing irreparable damag
