Dr. Mili Roy is a Canadian physician who has always felt deeply connected to the environment. After decades working in healthcare in her professional life – while supporting environmental organizations and following science and sustainability issues in her personal life, the two different worlds of healthcare and the environment naturally came together. Watching the climate crisis become the single greatest human health crisis of our time, Mili realized that where she could make a difference was by focusing on planetary health. In 2021, Mili attended a Virtual Climate Reality Leadership Corps training and now serves as Ontario regional chair for the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment and co-chair for the Ontario Climate Emergency Campaign, an environmental democracy movement she's supported and worked on since inception. Her environmental work includes organizing others to work collectively and more impactfully through these organizations. Today, as a Climate Reality Leader, Mili focuses on educating audiences on the intersections of climate and health, ranging from lecturing to other physicians to speaking at public rallies, writing op eds in newspapers or doing interviews to share ideas through the media. Her advocacy work also includes preparing consultations and submissions on a range of issues including land use, transportation, and energy. In addition, she works with other Leaders particularly on initiatives involving the use of our democracy to promote urgent governmental climate action and equity. Mili is especially interested in advocating for better government climate policy and inspiring people to use their democratic voice for climate action by connecting environmental impacts to our everyday lives and concerns whether that be the cost of living, housing, jobs, or food security, among others
