Public health experts occupy a distinctive position in addressing the climate crisis—one that extends to encompass population-wide protection, system strengthening, and evidence-based advocacy. Faculty at schools and programs of public healthare responsible for ensuring their students attain the competencies needed to address these critical issues. This free, online comprehensive 11-week course, led by experts from around the world, is designed to equip public health faculty with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to integrate climate change into public health degree education and to train the next generation of professionals who will lead climate-informed health interventions. Following up on the course, there will be an exciting opportunity for participants who are affiliated with members of GNAPH Schools Associations, including ASPHER, to join a regional community of practice to reinforce and build education and training in climate change and public health. Look out for the announcement later this year! If you are interested, please send us an email at community@aspher.org so you don't miss out on your chance to apply. Download the course flyer. Certificate available to those who meet the requirements. Audience: Faculty members from schools and programmes of public health worldwide. FREE REGISTRATION --- GNAPH is an alliance of seven regional associations that represent schools and programs of public health worldwide. The seven regional associations that makeup GNAPH are: ALASAG, APACPH, ASPHA, ASPHER, ASPPH, CAPHIA, and SEAPHEIN. GCCHE unites health professional training institutions, health societies, and regional health organizations to create a global climate-ready health sector, prepared to mobilize and lead health promotion and response in the era of climate change, while restoring the health of the planet.
