Climate and health education for health professions schools and programs
Abstract: Brittany Shea, Project Director for the Global Consortium on Climate and Health Education (GCCHE), will discuss the Consortium's history, purpose, and offerings, including a Virtual Town Square, online Knowledge Bank, and Core Competencies on climate and health. The GCCHE was founded in 2017 by the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health to ensure that the next generation of health professionals globally have the knowledge and skills to prevent, mitigate, and respond to the health impacts of climate change, and to increase the number of health professionals who focus their work on climate change. It now includes nearly 200 health professions schools and programs from almost 30 countries on 6 continents. The GCCHE has been featured in academic journals and media outlets including The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, and included in leading reports such as the 2018 Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change Brief for the United States of America. The Mailman School invites representatives of health professions schools to join the GCCHE by completing this form.
