| Abstract: Background: The climate change is a ubiquitous phenomenon having wide-ranging social, economic, political, geographical, and psychological implications. It is impacting human lives and health in a variety of ways. Sustainability is a goal that everyone must reach. Purpose: To assess the staff nurses’ perceptions of climate change and environmental sustainability practice at Menoufia University Hospitals and El Sadat Central Hospital. Design: A descriptive correlational research design was used. Setting: The study was conducted at different units of Menoufia University Hospitals, and El Sadat Central Hospital. Sample: A convenience sampling was used to select the staff nurses in the present study (471). Instruments: Two instruments were used (Staff nurse's perception toward climate change questionnaire and staff nurse's perception toward environmental sustainability questionnaire). Results: The Majority (90.4%) of the studied nurses at Menoufia University Hospitals had a high perception level of climate change and more than three quarter of studied nurses at El Sadat Hospital (74.2%) had a high perception level of climate change, more than three quarters of the studied nurses at Menoufia University Hospitals (90.8%) had a high perception level about environmental sustainability practice domains and more than two third of them at El Sadat Hospital (51.5%) had a high perception level about it.
