Free online course: Nursing on the front lines of the climate crisis: Education for action

The course was developed through a partnership between the Global Consortium on Climate and Health Education (GCCHE); Global Nursing Working Group (GNWG)/Nursing Climate Resources for Health Education (N-CRHE); Alliance of Nurses for a Healthy Environment (AHNE), Canadian Association of Nurses for the Environment (CANE) and Climate Action Nurses (CAN).

The main objectives of the course are:

1. Increase the knowledge, self-efficacy, and communication skills of nursing professionals regarding the climate crisis to: 1) improve patient care and public health practice, and 2) serve as trusted ambassadors within their institutions, communities, and practice areas.
2. Equip interested nursing professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to disseminate education so that the health effects of climate change and emergency preparedness can be more easily incorporated into pre- and post-licensure nursing education worldwide.
3. Build and strengthen an agile and informed community of nurses in climate and health education, advocacy and policy for health professionals with strong mentorship and professional support.

You can participate via a live or recorded meeting. Each participant who attends at least 7 of the 10 live zoom sessions OR watches the recordings AND passes the final course exam with a score of 70 % or higher will receive a certificate of participation.
