With past presidencies of several organizations, including Physicians for Global Survival, Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, and the Association of Complementary and Integrative Physicians of B.C., Dr. Bell emphasizes the importance of addressing existential threats such as social inequalities, climate change, pollution, and overconsumption of resources. He advocates for policies prioritizing food justice, environmental justice, and respect for the planet and its content.
