Education & Training

We equip learners to understand and act on the health and health system challenges of climate & environmental change.

Health professionals and health scientists must be able to recognize and respond to climate change and the eco-social determinants of health, and to contribute to a more equitable and sustainable world. Education is thus a core responsibility and unifying theme for the Collaborative Centre’s work.

We aim to strengthen the capacity of health professions educators, and to deliver programs that meet the needs of diverse learners, including those in formal education, and those already in practice.

In addition to our programming, we aim to support learners – including faculty, students, trainees, and practitioners – by providing capacity strengthening and networking opportunities, and enabling access to a variety of relevant resources.

Opportunities for Faculty Engagement

For students and trainees to develop the requisite expertise, faculty must be empowered to teach relevant knowledge and skills. We are working to build and sustain a community of educators who can support health professional competency in planetary health and sustainable care across our founding faculties.
