The United Nations (2011) defines climate change as a change in climate that can either be directly or indirectly attributed to human activity. It alters the composition of the atmosphere and is considered in addition to the natural climate variability observed over comparable periods of time (United Nations [UN], 2011). Our climate is changing at an accelerated rate. 'Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since 1950 s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia' (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [IPCC], 2014, p. 2). While it can be argued that there are several causative factors, scientific evidence indicates

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.
