    This paper discusses why nursing has been slow to respond to climate change. The authors suggest this delay may be due to nursing's early focus on professionalization. Specifically, the paper examines nursing's core concepts, known as its metaparadigm, as presented by grand theorists. These works encouraged nurses to view the environment and their relationship to it mainly in terms of individual patients. As a result, nurses were not encouraged to understand environmental issues from a broader societal perspective. Without a philosophical foundation to understand the environment's relationship to society, it is not surprising that nurses have been slow to respond to climate change. The authors propose adopting a planetary health perspective in nursing education, research and practice to help the profession support climate resilience.

    AB - This paper offers a theoretical discussion on why the nursing profession has
    had
    a delayed response to the issue of climate change. We suggest this delay may
    have
    been influenced by the early days of nursing's professionalization.
    Specifically,
    we examine nursing's professional mandate, the generally accepted
    metaparadigm,
    and the grand theorists' conceptualizations of both the environment and the
    nurse-environment relationship. We conclude that these works may have
    encouraged
    nurses to conceptualize the environment, as well as their relationship with
    it,
    mainly in terms of the individual patient, and as such, nurses have not been
    encouraged to understand these concepts from a broader perspective. By not
    having
    the philosophical and theoretical foundations to understand the environment
    in
    relation to society, it is not surprising that nurses have had a delayed
    response
    to climate change and may not have viewed it as a professional concern. A
    planetary health perspective is suggested as a theoretical basis for nursing
    education, research and practice. Taking on a planetary health perspective
    could
    help nurses progress the profession and move healthcare systems towards
    supporting a climate-resilient future.
