Climate change has been identified as “the greatest global health threat facing the world in the 21st century” by the Lancet Countdown on health and climate change.
The Academic Health Institutions’ Declaration on Planetary Health states:
Academic health institutions have a distinct responsibility to educate, train, and prepare health professionals to respond to and advocate for the health needs of society, from the individual to the population level and from a local to a global level.
A landscape review of the four founding faculties of the Collaborative Centre indicates a pressing need to train faculty in the domains of climate change, planetary health and sustainable care.
