Climate for Health Ambassadors Training
Event Information
About this Event
Overview
Americans are growing more concerned about climate change. As they witness and experience impacts to their health, livelihoods, and communities, they are increasingly looking for guidance on solutions, from leaders in their daily lives – including health leaders like you.
ecoAmerica and Physicians for Social Responsibility are partnering to offer the Climate for Health Ambassadors Training Program on December 9 in Washington, DC at the Kaiser Permanente Center for Total Health. Join us for a free, interactive 4-hour training that will cover the links between climate and health, the spectrum of solutions, speaking effectively on the topic, and opportunities to act and advocate.
Nursing Continuing Education is available for participants in this training.
