Climate change is reshaping healthcare, creating new demands on the sector to both reduce the environmental footprint of care and to adapt to new and worsening climate-related health impacts. Meeting this new reality requires a distributed network of trained health leaders spanning the hospital, the clinic, and the classroom. Join us on September 22nd to discuss how education can prepare health professionals for climate change's most pressing health priorities. Jointly hosted by the Global Consortium on Climate and Health Education, Project Green Schools, the Takeda Foundation, and the National Academy of Medicine, this event sparks dialogue on how capacity building can turn learners into leaders ready to tackle climate challenges across clinical care, public health, and health systems operations.
