This peer-supported learning series is presented by the Collaborative Centre for Climate, Health, and Sustainable Care and CASCADES.
Join the Collaborative Centre and CASCADES for our next cycle of the Planetary Health & Sustainable Care ECHO: Climate Impacts on Health & Health Equity starting April 7.
In this cycle, we will explore how climate change-driven environmental shifts (such as rising temperatures, declining air quality, changing patterns of vector-borne diseases, and increasingly frequent extreme weather events) create and intensify threats to health and health and social services. Particular attention will be paid to how these threats are unevenly distributed, disproportionately affecting individuals, communities, and patients already burdened by social, economic, and environmental inequities. Impacted groups can include people living with mental health conditions, those experiencing homelessness, older adults, women and gender-diverse people, Indigenous and racialized communities, people with disabilities, and others facing intersecting vulnerabilities.
This cycle will run for 6-8 weeks on Tuesdays, beginning April 7. Registration is open on a rolling basis, meaning those interested can register at any time before and throughout the cycle and attend any number of sessions. Registrants will receive a calendar invitation to the entire cycle (all sessions).
