This webinar is presented by the National Collaborating Centre for the Determinants of Health (NCCDH)
The NCCDH is partnering with the Canadian Poverty, Health Equity, and Climate Change (CPHECC) initiative from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) to facilitate a webinar on the connections between poverty, the climate crisis, women’s health, and health equity.
# What are the connections between poverty, the climate crisis, women’s health, and health equity? And how are these issues framed in the media? Exploring opportunities for action
In this webinar, the Canadian Poverty, Health Equity, and Climate Change initiative (CPHECC) and the National Collaborating Centre for Determinants of Health (NCCDH) will explore issues that are often marginalized in the dominant climate change and health discourse: the intersections between poverty, the climate crisis, women’s health, and health equity.
