Abstract

Objective: to reflect on the contributions of Nursing in mediating society's participation in mitigating the climate change impacts. Method: theoretical and reflective study, based on contemporary literature and international reports, carried out between August and November 2023. Results: to implement, articulate and promote actions that foster connections between Nursing and society, the study identified perceptions of social vulnerability and intersectionality as central elements that determine action, presented by three thematic axes: starting point; strategy; and processes, which respectively represent coping scenarios; governance and Nursing; and collaboration and social participation. Conclusion: it is necessary to review concepts of environmental and societal relations in training and discussion on the subject, in order to help raise awareness among nursing staff.
