Climate data demystified: Climate science for public health professionals

This webinar is presented by the National Collaborating Centre for Environmental Health.

# Abstract

Environmental public health professionals stand at the forefront of community health protection, uniquely positioned to address the substantial challenges posed by climate change. However, many lack formal training in climate science, potentially limiting their confidence and comprehensive understanding of the key principles, assessment of credible climate information, and ability to communicate effectively about climate change in their professional roles.

This webinar will demystify essential climate science concepts through a public health lens, with a focus on extreme heat events. This session features a dynamic conversation between two experts, one from public health and another from climate science. They will explore common challenges in effectively utilizing climate data for public health practice. Webinar participants will engage in an interactive format, gaining hands-on experience with ClimateData.ca, Canada’s trusted climate information portal. The activity will build on a live demonstration of the platform’s powerful features, including the Spatial Analogues tool, which helps users identify North American cities that match their community’s future climate conditions.

By presenting climate fundamentals in relatable terms, the presenters will bridge the gap between public health concerns and climate impacts to help empower public health professionals with the knowledge and tools for effective decision-making and action in the face of climate change.
