Climate for Health Ambassadors Training

ASTHO is excited to partner with ecoAmerica to provide Climate for Health Ambassadors training to our state and territorial health agency members and their staff at no cost—equipping them with specific resources and tools to address the impacts of climate change in their jurisdiction.  

Climate change and extreme weather events continue to threaten public health, safety, and quality of life. ASTHO supports building and sustaining healthy, climate-resilient communities that are prepared for climate change and extreme weather events. Implementing public health programs that increase the capacity to prevent, protect, and respond to the impacts of climate and extreme weather improve a community’s overall readiness and resilience.

The training is online, self-paced, and includes six modules:

• The Health Case for Climate Action, Climate Basics
• Impacts on Human Health, Health Equity
• Climate Solutions & Health Benefits
• Communicating on Climate and Health
• Advocacy & Engagement
• Making a Difference as an Ambassador
