Purpose

The negative health impacts of climate change continue to grow. However, typical academic curriculum in the health sciences does not include instruction about environmental and climate health. Improving community wellbeing must include interprofessional knowledge on climate impacts and solutions.

This conference will illustrate how climate change threatens human health, provide strategies to implement immediately, and inspire health professionals to take action.

Needs Assessment

The health consequences of climate change are broad and far-reaching, and negatively impact every social determinant of health. It is critical for the interprofessional health care team to understand these challenges and work toward solutions.

This conference explores various facets of the impact of the climate crisis on the health of individuals and communities. The sessions will cover background on climate and health, solutions to minimize health disparities, and provide tools implement mitigation and adaptation strategies.

Global Learning Objectives

  • Discuss recent extreme weather and identify the public health challenges that are a result of climate changes and the relationship between climate change and health equity
  • Reflect on your personal narrative, values, ethics, and actions and identify how these align with the climate goals of your institutions and organizations. Explore how these collective values impact local, state, federal, and global level decision making
  • Describe the scientific research regarding the health benefits of climate mitigation solutions
  • Explain adaptation strategies that can improve health amidst a changing climate
  • Illustrate the importance of health professionals as trusted messengers for climate and health issues and apply the learned knowledge via communication and interaction with colleagues, patients, health systems, the public, and policy makers
  • Describe strategies for how members of the interprofessional healthcare team can work together to advocate for climate solutions that protect health
