Abstract

There is an urgent call to redesign health care to be more equitable, to address the climate change crisis, and to implement the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the health of the global community. Now is the time for nurses to get involved in leading these necessary changes. In 2019, the authors were chosen to present a concurrent session at the 68th United Nations Civil Society Conference. The conference focused on SDG 11, Building Inclusive and Sustainable Cities and Communities. The experience convinced the authors that nurses have unique knowledge and skills to contribute to the mission of the United Nations.
