Dr. Preeti Jaggi on Children’s Health, Clean Air, and the Power of Collective Action
Locally focused, cross-disciplinary climate action is crucial to advancing meaningful solutions across Georgia.
That work, rooted in both science and community partnership, is exactly what Dr. Preeti Jaggi is focused on. A pediatric infectious disease specialist and a leader with Georgia Clinicians for Climate Action, Preeti has become a powerful voice connecting climate solutions with children’s health and community well-being.
In this installment of the Georgia Climate Digest video interview series, long-time climate justice advocate Eriqah Vincent sat down with Preeti to talk about the connections between climate and public health, equitable access to clean air, and her team’s Drawdown Georgia Climate Solutions & Equity Grant project focused on scaling electric school bus adoption.
