The Climate and Health Responder Course for Latin America is a self-paced, open and free course with a certificate organized by the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI), the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), and the Global Consortium on Climate and Health Education (GCCHE) based at Columbia University (USA). <\/p>\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n

The course aims to engage the public health research and academic communities to facilitate climate and health research used to inform health and policy decisions. This course serves as an introduction to the cutting-edge of climate and health research, explores case studies of successful implementation, and opportunities for engagement. <\/p>\n\n

Climate change is the biggest global health threat of the 21st century, and tackling climate change is one of our greatest opportunities for building and strengthening public health systems. To meet the emerging health needs imposed by climate change, both academic and research communities are urgently needed to further our understanding of the health impacts of climate change and adaptation options including: monitoring, projections, early-warning systems, and epidemiological surveillance of health outcomes. Simultaneously, close cooperation is needed with policy makers and health decision makers to ensure new knowledge can be translated into practice. <\/p>\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n

TARGET AUDIENCE: <\/h3>\n\n

Academics, health researchers, environmental researchers, health professionals, health leaders, climate leaders, students and funders.<\/p>\n\n

COURSE STRUCTURE:<\/h3>\n\n

The course consists of didactic sessions with international experts supported by slides.<\/p>\n\n

COURSE OBJECTIVES:<\/h3>\n\n

Equip public health researchers with a knowledge base regarding the impacts of climate change on health<\/p>\n\n

Enable researchers to understand current methodologies and approaches used to establish connections between climate change and health impacts, assess attribution, access meteorological and climate data collection, develop monitoring systems and projections, undertake epidemiological surveillance, develop early warning systems, and create mechanisms to monitor and evaluate climate change interventions.<\/p>\n\n

Enable participants to engage in research that informs health policy action and implementation<\/p>\n\n
